Study Objectives:
A problem which has always intrigued me is "How does the brain work?" The question still remains one of the greatest mysteries of science. The human brain is an extremely power efficient computational device capable of performing numerous complex day to day to tasks such as vision and speech with amazing ease.

A few fundamental questions which I seek to address include "How are ideas/concepts represented in the neural circuits"? and "How is information processed?" This research will push forward the frontiers of human knowledge and provide design principles for emulating holistic intelligence in artificial agents, lead to advances in medicine, healthcare and enable a new paradigm for human computer interaction among a plethora of other benefits.
