Biography

Joel Voss is a Professor in the Department of Neurology at the University of Chicago. He is affiliated with the Neuroscience Institute and serves on both the Computational Neuroscience Committee and the Neurobiology Committee. His research focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying memory and behavior, particularly through the lens of computational models and neurophysiological recordings. He has published significant findings on topics such as theta oscillations and their role in hippocampal network connectivity, predictive coding in orbitofrontal cortex networks, and the integration of information across multiple behavioral cues within the lateral orbitofrontal cortex. Voss's work contributes to a deeper understanding of how the brain encodes and retrieves memories, providing insights into both normal cognitive functioning and potential clinical applications for memory-related disorders.
