We want to understand humans’ and animals’ internal processes while they make continuous and interactive decisions. We work with humans, animals, and computational models to address our scientific questions. Specifically, we want to address normative behavior and neural dynamics of:

• prediction and planning
• transfer learning and generalization across tasks
• social inference and learning

by using the navigation/foraging/hunting task paradigm. We seek inspiration from various fields, including artificial neural networks and computational ethology. By pursuing an exciting path, we hope to reveal the design principles of the brain.
