Dr. Read Montague is a Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at Baylor College of Medicine, Director of the Human Neuroimaging Lab, and Director of the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience.
His work focuses on computational neuroscience - the connection between the physical mechanisms present in real neural tissue and the computational functions that these mechanisms embody.
Work in the Montague group also extends into several experimental areas including synaptic physiology, human neuroimaging, and human behavior.
Dr. Montague talks about decision-making and free will. Click here to listen to a layman-level description of his work on choice and its relationship to the brain.
The Montague lab is also a member of The Computational Psychiatry Unit (CPU), a new unit dedicated to understanding the computational connections between biological mechanisms and psychiatric illness.
