RESEARCH PHILOSOPHY
Inspired by Wang et al. Scientific discovery in the age of artificial intelligence. Nature 620.7972 (2023): 47–60. [LINK]
There are many other examples of such iteration:
- Scientific method: induction → abduction → induction → abduction …
- Neuroscience: neural oscillation cycles
- Sleep architecture: NREM → REM → NREM → REM …
- Expectation-maximization: E → M → E → M …

RESEARCH FRAMEWORK
Use AI to assist research:
- Use AI to extract phenotypes that otherwise cannot be extracted
- Use AI to make decisions that otherwise cannot be done
- Use AI to propose new hypotheses in an optimal way
MODULE 03
RESEARCH DOMAINS
- Sleep Medicine
- Sleep-based biomarkers for brain health and aging
- The role of sleep in neurological diseases
- Causal Inference in Neuroscience and Neurology
- Causal effect estimation
- Mediation analysis to map affecting pathways
I am trained in AI stuff, brain stuff, Bayesian stuff, computational neuroscience, and bioinformatics.
