What are the principles of neural computation in artificial and biological intelligence? To address this question, Prof. Wessel pursues three interrelated research pillars.

Keith Hengen is interested in understanding how computation emerges from biological systems. His laboratory uses a combination of cutting-edge systems neuroscience tools, theory, and molecular manipulations to shed light on why we sleep, how our brains support rich and diverse functions, and how disease impacts information moving through networks of neurons.
