Kenneth Norman is a prominent researcher at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, focusing on computational models to explore how the brain contributes to learning and memory. His lab engages in neuroimaging studies that test models’ predictions and decode thoughts. Current inquiries include understanding the rules governing memory modification, the role of sleep in learning, and how continuous experiences are segmented into meaningful chunks. Additionally, he investigates how different memory systems—episodic, semantic, and working memory—collaborate to solve complex tasks and the mechanisms of intentional forgetting. His neuroimaging work involves the development of novel machine learning methods for analyzing distributed patterns of neural activity, as well as creating real-time neurofeedback mechanisms that adapt studies based on participants' thought processes.
