Tyler Giallanza

I am currently a graduate student at Princeton University, advised by Jonathan Cohen. I study the computational architecture of the human brain, seeking to understand how the interactions between cognitive "building blocks" like attention, semantic memory, and episodic memory result in the uniquely human ability to rapidly learn a wide range of knowledge and behaviors. My work focuses on integrating these building blocks into unified neural network models that can be tested against behavioral data and analyzing the representations that emerge in these models to understand how they support human cognition.
