Christopher Baldassano, PhD
Assistant Professor, Psychology Department, Columbia University
Christopher Baldassano is a cognitive neuroscientist using machine learning techniques to uncover how dynamic representations in the mind and brain lead to the formation of event memories.
Our everyday lives consist of familiar sequences of events in familiar contexts, and we use our memories of the past to understand the present and make predictions about the future. Baldassano will present recent studies in his lab that employ stories, movies, virtual reality, and games to investigate the mechanisms by which knowledge of temporal structure can organize our perceptions and memories.
Join us on February 19, 2024, for "Building neural representations for realistic event sequences."
