Describe your team here.
Salomon is a postdoc at the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at Columbia University advised by Larry Abbott and Nate Sawtell. He is interested in understanding the computations driven by learning in neural populations. He has been using data analysis in combination with modeling to understand how learning in cerebellum and cerebellar-like structures yield desired outputs. Prior to studying neuroscience, Salomon studied Talmud and published in selected journals. He is also a Cantor at WSIS, a Synagogue on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
Nathaniel Sawtell, PhD, is a Professor of Neuroscience at Columbia University and a Principal Investigator at Columbia's Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute.
His interest is centered in three questions: How are external sensory stimuli perceived, integrated, and represented within the central nervous system? How does the nervous system generate appropriate behavioral responses based on this input? and how does this behavior affect perception?
