Marc Howard

Marc Howard is is a professor in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as the Principle Investigator in the Theoretical Cognitive Neursocience Lab at Boston University. The lab focuses on developing mathematical models of cognition and evaluating them against both behavioral and neurophysiological data, providing a bridge between cognition and systems-level neuroscience. It uses a combination of mathematical, computational and behavioral tools to evaluate its hypotheses. The lab investigates episodic memory, the ability we have to remember specific events situated in a particular spatiotemporal context. At present, its efforts are focused on developing and evaluating a unified mathematical framework to describe how the brain constructs the spatial and temporal context believed to underlie episodic memory. Howard was selected as an Institute Research Fellow in January 2017.
