Research Summary

Utilizing a broad spectrum of dynamical systems theory, the theory of stochastic processes, and information and control theories, Professor Lim develops and analyzes neural network models and synaptic plasticity rules for learning and memory. It accompanies the analysis of neural data and collaboration with experimentalists to provide and test biologically plausible models.
