Mapping Out the Most Complex Terrain: The Mind

By January 31, 2022No Comments

Biomedical engineer Manu Madhav wants to know how animals and humans navigate their surroundings. To learn more about this complex task, he leads the Neural Circuits for Computation, Cognition and Control Lab.

“We look at biological navigation, so we we look at how animals and humans navigate and how they create representations or maps in their brain, how they fuse information from their surroundings in order to create these maps, and how they use these maps in order to navigate their environment,” says Madhav, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the University of British Columbia.
