We’re excited to share that our graduate student, Yang Yang, received a Computational Cognition (CoCo) Pilot Award this year and presented her work at the 2026 CoCo Conference. Her project, in collaboration with Robert Wilson in the School of Psychology at Georgia Tech, applies an interpretable neural network model to better understand sensory tuning in the human brain.
This work brings together human neuroscience and machine learning to ask how sensory information is represented in the brain, and how computational models can help make those representations more understandable.
We’re proud of Yang for this recognition and for sharing her work at the CoCo Conference this year!
