Research activities

The current focus of my research is on Cell Assemblies (CAs).  Kailash Nadh completed his thesis on associative memory; Fawad Jamshed on symbol grounding; Hina Ghalib on sequences; and Richard Bowles completed his PhD on capacity of a network of CAs. Yuehu Ji is currently working on Associative Memory.  Much of our CA work is foundational in nature, and our model is based on mammalian neural circuitry. More recently I have moved onto developing agents, and cognitive models, and using neuromorphic hardware.  I have many publications in this area and eventually hope to use this foundational work as the basis of a cognitive architecture.  This work now bridges into my NLP work, including the best neural model of natural language parsing.


Current Teaching
