Profile Summary

As a Computational Neuroscience researcher, I have - Worked extensively (10+ years) with behavioural and brain imaging (fMRI, MEG, intracranial, etc.) datasets. * Designed Experiments, collected data, preprocessed and developed computational models to predict brain signals (regression, decoding, MVPA, etc.) - Used deep neural network models to solve computer vision tasks and even won the Algonauts Challenge (2019) organized by MIT, USA using novel algorithms. Overall, I can help you with all stages of research such as: - Literature Survey - Experiment design - Data Analysis - Developing interpretable models, algorithms - Generating insights, etc. For more details: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aakashagr/
