Marlene Cohen is a Professor in the Neurobiology Department at the University of Chicago. She focuses her research on the computational aspects of neuroscience, particularly in how sensory information is processed in the brain to influence behavior. Her work involves exploring brain mechanisms that support sensory decisions during tasks, particularly in the visual system. Cohen has published numerous peer-reviewed articles that have significantly contributed to our understanding of neural processing, including investigations into how visual information is encoded and interpreted in various contexts. Her studies delve into topics such as the topological insights into neural basis of flexible behavior and the impact of methylphenidate on neural coding hypotheses. Cohen leads the Cohen Lab, where she supervises graduate programs in Computational Neuroscience, working with students to advance the field through innovative research methodologies.
