Description

Cross-scale Neurobiology of Compositional Cognition. Despite its critical role in cognition and in modern neuro-inspired artificial intelligence, the neural mechanisms of compositional cognitive processes in the human brain remain elusive. Our distinguished interdisciplinary team – leveraging expertise in psychopharmacology, neuroimaging, and neural modelling – is poised to illuminate this complexity. We will combine dynamic neural signatures during cognitive tasks, the perturbation of neurochemical systems, and advanced biophysical models to test our novel neuromodulatory compositionality hypothesis. Our research will provide unprecedented insights into the neurobiology of compositional cognition, and in this way, will accelerate the convergence of neuroscience and artificial intelligence..
