Jan Drugowitsch is an Associate Professor of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School. His research aims to understand the fundamental computations that neurobiological implementations enable the nervous system to support efficient behavior. His lab utilizes tools from artificial intelligence and neuroscience to develop theories about how networks of neurons in the brain can infer, represent, and process information about the world to guide decision-making. Dr. Drugowitsch's current focus is on decisions based on evidence that can be directly observed rather than relying on memorized knowledge. He has previously demonstrated that decision-makers can optimally trade off time and accuracy when contemplating their choices. His future research plans include exploring decision strategies in complex visual scenes and addressing behaviors in higher-dimensional spaces where spatial uncertainty plays a significant role.
