Dani S. Bassett, PhD
J. Peter Skirkanich Professor, Departments of Bioengineering, Electrical and Systems Engineering, Physics and Astronomy, Neurology, and Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania; External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute
Dani Bassett is a complex systems scientist interested in the structure, function, dynamics, and control of adaptive neural systems.
Bassett will draw together three lines of inquiry on connective curiosity ("How do we connect bits of information as we walk about the world?"), graph learning ("How do we build larger network models from those connections?"), and network control theory ("How is that model building constrained by the brain's own connective structure?"). The studies discussed will span experiment, model, and theory, and bridge human behavior, neural representations, and computational science.
Please join us on February 26, 2024, for "Network cognition in a curious world."
