Arthur Prat-Carrabin

I work with Sam Gershman in the Computational Cognitive Neuroscience Lab. I graduated from École Polytechnique (Paris) and completed my PhD at École Normale Supérieure (Paris) with Rava da Silveira. After that I was a postdoc with Mike Woodford in the Cognition and Decision Lab at Columbia University.

I'm interested in the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying perception, representation, inference and decision-making. My goal is to develop a theoretical framework that is biologically plausible, grounded in sound computational principles, and backed by experiments; and that makes behavior understandable and predictable. My research is thus a combination of theory, experiments, and computational modeling, and it sits at the intersection of multiple scientific disciplines, from neuroscience to economics.

Here's a recent CV.
