Dr. Kanaka Rajan, Computational Neuroscientist & Assistant Professor at Mt Sinai

Kanaka Rajan, Ph.D. is a Computational Neuroscientist and Assistant Professor at the Friedman Brain Institute at Mount Sinai in New York. Her research seeks to understand how the brain functions; how it learns or makes decisions. We dive into Dr. Rajan's approaches these brain 'themes' in this interview. She also walks us through the contrasts between the fields of neurobiology and artificial intelligence, and opens our minds to how our understanding of the brain has advanced over time. We learned so much and we hope you do too!
