Motto: "Understand how it works".
Inspired from Wang et al. Scientific discovery in the age of artificial intelligence.
Nature 620.7972 (2023): 47-60.

There are many other examples of such iteration:
- In scientific method: induction --> abduction --> induction --> abduction ...
- In expectation maximization: E --> M --> E --> M ...
- In sleep: NREM --> REM --> NREM --> REM ...
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
Research Areas
- 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 understand the affecting pathways
I am trained in AI stuff, brain stuff, Bayesian stuff, computational neuroscience, and bioinformatics.
