Ila Fiete studies how the brain performs complex computations – MIT News
The MIT professor takes a mathematical approach to exploring memory, navigation, and other neural functions.
While doing a postdoc about 15 years ago, Ila Fiete began searching for faculty jobs in computational neuroscience a field that uses mathematical tools to investigate brain function. However, there were no advertised positions in theoretical or computational neuroscience at that time in the United States.
It wasnt really a field, she recalls. That has changed completely, and…
