Biography

Daeyeol Lee is a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor in the Solomon H. Snyder Department of Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University. His research focuses on understanding the brain mechanisms that underlie adaptive behavior, particularly through decision-making processes. He is currently exploring the prefrontal and striatal mechanisms involved in updating values, actions, and experiences in dynamic environments. His experiments investigate strategic planning and the execution of sequential actions during interactions with computer opponents. Additionally, he examines the brain mechanisms involved in estimating temporal intervals and numerical quantities, which are crucial for behavioral control. His research integrates insights from formal theories of economics, reinforcement learning, computational neuroscience, and neural coding. Through the development of novel behavioral paradigms and multi-electrode recording systems, Lee's work aims to unravel the biological foundations of cognitive functions and voluntary actions.
