Thrilled to announce I'll be starting my own neuro-theory lab, as an Assistant Professor at @YaleNeuro @WuTsaiYale this Fall!

My group will study offline learning in the sleeping brain: how neural activity self-organizes during sleep and the computations it performs. 🧵

In this episode of @braininspired, @dlevenstein explains how internally generated brain activity during sleep shapes our cognition, and why NeuroAI is such a powerful approach to understanding our brains.
