معرفی
Prof. Alexandre Pouget is a leading Professor at the University of Geneva, affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine and Department of Basic Neuroscience. His research focuses on uncovering general principles of representation and computation in neural circuits, particularly how the brain handles uncertainty through probabilistic inference in domains like
- Decision Making
- Multisensory Integration
- Number Representation
- Visual Processing
- Perceptual Learning
His work applies Bayesian inference to neural coding, with notable contributions to understanding odor demixing and confidence vs. certainty in cognitive tasks. He leads a dynamic research group at CMU (C08.1538.A) with postdocs and graduate students, and his collaborations span institutions like
- University College London
- Simons Foundation
- Human Frontiers Science Programme
- Swiss National Science Foundation
While no specific scientific awards are listed, his publications in Nature Neuroscience and Nature highlight his impact. His lab emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches combining computational modeling, neurophysiology, and behavioral analysis.
