About Byron

I am a computer scientist-turned-biologist. My early formal training was in artificial intelligence and robotics, but after working as an engineer and then in biotech, I eventually realized that natural intelligence is far more interesting. In the last several years, I have been investigating how brains produce behavior and how different brains produce different behavior. Read on for more information.
