Announcing an official collaboration between Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology: Sam Reiter’s Computational Neuroethology Unit, 2024-ongoing. The Computational Neuroethology Unit seeks to uncover the principles governing animal behavior and its neural basis. To achieve this goal, the unit combines novel methods for high-resolution behavioral recording with systems neuroscience and computational approaches. The unit currently focuses on coleoid cephalopods (cuttlefish, octopus, and squid), a group of marine invertebrates that evolved uniquely large brains and complex behaviors.
In collaboration with PALO art productions.
