Kai J. Sandbrink

I am a computational cognitive neuroscience PhD student at Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford. My thesis focuses on deep reinforcement learning as task-driven models of human behavior. I am lucky to be jointly co-supervised by Professors Christopher Summerfield (Oxford) and Wulfram Gerstner (EPFL). I am passionate about a wide range of neuroscience research, including the learning dynamics of connectionist models, the emergence of cognitive flexibility, the development of responses to the exploration-exploitation trade-off, as well as applications of behavioral science to social decision-making. I use theoretical models to make behavioral predictions that can be studied in experimental paradigms. I am eager to hear from potential collaborators or others who are interested in my research or in sharing their own. You can email me, follow me on BlueSky/Mastodon/X, or connect with me on LinkedIn. Biological motor control is versatile, efficient, and depends on proprioceptive feedback
