Theoretical methods of statistical mechanics are developed and applied at Rice to study the collective properties of biological systems. Both computational and analytical methods are of interest. Natural systems from our world and engineered systems from biotechnology offer a wide variety of phenomena for study. New field-theoretic techniques, new computer simulation methods, and new random energy models have resulted. Current areas of interest include.

Welcome to the lab of Xaq Pitkow. We aim to understand how the brain works using mathematical principles. We develop theories of neural computation and collaborate. With experimentalists to test these predictions. We can explain many features of neural processing with a few simple ideas. The brain looks for change. The brain is deeply nonlinear. The brain distributes information across many neurons. 8216;s Department of Neuroscience.
