Research Description:
Tatyana uses methods from statistical physics and information theory to study how the brain encodes sensory stimuli. She is interested in how sensory processing in the brain is matched to the statistics of real-world signals, why might the evolved hierarchy of neural representations be optimal, and how it can be best adapted to track rapid changes in the statistics of inputs.

| Note: The CTBP publication database system contains a record of all papers published by CTBP faculty, post-doctoral scholars and students. The automated retrievel system does not distinguish between CTBP authors and non-CTBP authors with similar initials/names, hence on rare occassions it incorrectly will include a citation for paper that was not the work of the CTBP person listed (but a CTBP collaborator with similar initials/name). |
