I received my PhD from the Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems at Boston University, where I am the Project Coordinator and Senior Investigator in the DARPA SyNAPSE project. My research interests are focused on neural networks - in particular applied to laminar cortical models of learning and memory. I am also involved in several technology initiatives in CELEST, and n the development and testing of a software package for advanced neurosimulations, KInNeSS. |

In January 2006 I co-founded
Neurala LLC with the target of developing a technology platform that enables programmers to write brain-based algorithms that exploit emerging, low-cost parallel hardware components. Other research interests include the application of machine learning algorithms to financial forecasting. My research is supported in part by
CELEST, an NSF Science of Learning Center (NSF SBE-0354378).

The SMART model
The Synchonous Matching Adaptive Resonance Theory (SMART) model

SMART was developed to answer a fundamental question in neuroscience and brain-inspired technologies: how do spiking laminar cortical circuits self-organize and stably learn relevant information? How can these circuits be embedded in low-power, hybrid CMOS chip and used to solve challenging pattern recognition problems? |
Keeping it in mind: prefrontal cortex neurons keep information in memory
