Kurt Braunlich, Ph.D.

Kurt Braunlich

I am a research fellow in the Section on Learning and Plasticity at NIMH and the Laboratory of Sensorimotor Research at the NEI. My doctoral and postdoctoral work examined the neural and computational principles of category learning and decision-making in humans. I now develop quantitative methods for translating functional brain responses across species.
