I am a neuroscientist with a background in Mathematics. I work with Alex Hyafil at the Computational Neuroscience Group at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica, in Barcelona. I use Recurrent Neural Networks to investigate the computational principles underlying decision making processes.

​

My latest work, in colaboration with Yuxiu Shao, Robert Yang, Srdjan Ostojic and Jaime de la Rocha, (Molano-Mazón et al. 2023 Current Biology, preprint) shows that by pre-training RNNs on ecologically relevant environments it is possible to recover a suboptimal behavior observed in rats performing a two-alternative forced choice task that presents serial correlations.

I have recently written an opinion piece together with Dr. Robert Yang (Yang and Molano-Mazón 2021 Current Opinion in Neurobiology,  preprint).
