The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit (Gatsby Unit) is known for computational and theoretical neuroscience and machine learning. Our research seeks to understand the principles of learning, perception and action in brains and machines by developing mathematical algorithms.
We provide an excellent opportunity for a critical mass of theoreticians to interact closely with each other and with other UCL research groups, in particular the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour (SWC) as well as the Centre for Computational Statistics and Machine Learning (CSML).
Teaching is supplemented with regular research talks, journal clubs, external seminar series and participation in relevant conferences and workshops. PhD students will be supported by all academic staff, not just their immediate supervisors.
