Lab, Princeton University.

interests
I want to understand how vocal communication
emerges from the interaction of evolutionary, developmental, neuronal, and
biomechanical phenomena. Marmosets are New World monkeys ideal to study vocal
communication dynamics. For more details.
I am also interested on developing statistical
and computational methods for the analysis of the relationships between
dynamical phenomena at different time scales. These tools are designed to help
us understand how complex behavior like vocal communication can emerge from
interaction of its components. For more details.
My another interest is on stochastic processes
with unbonded dependence on the past (chains of infinite
order). These processes are natural generalization of Markov chains and exhibit
a rich set of phenomena like phase transition. Most of biological phenomena
(e.g., neural networks) are not Markovian and chains
of infinite order are good candiadates to model them.
Moreover, chains of infinte order are important
mathematical object in the study of equilibrium states. For more details.
