JOINT FACULTY

S. Bapiraju (On extraordinary leave to IIIT Hyderabad), One primary area of research is investigation of brain bases of action (motor) representation and understanding and its breakdown in disease. The other area is sequence learning, both implicit and explicit sequences. We use a variety of approaches including, behavioural, neuroimaging experiments and computational models such as bayesian methods, connectionist approaches.
