Hi I am Pavi! Welcome to my homepage
Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere!
I am really curious about how this is the case!!
I am a third year PhD student in Orsborn lab at UW
I am an engineer and an experimental neuroscientist (well, this part is in process). I study how the brain acquires new skills and seamlessly integrates it what it knows already. Especially, I am interested in investigating the neural mechanisms of learning when the brain tries to control a brain computer interface (BCI). My research is driven by a desire to understand how a biological network solves complex computations to gain control of a BCI.
From trying to know something about everything, I am transitioning to learning everything about something in my PhD.
If you use phrases like 'brain is wonderfully mysterious' ,'neuroengineering is a successful marriage of engineering and neuroscience' , you invited yourself into hour long conversations with me.
