Hi! I'm Dan Yamins. Welcome to my website! I'm a computer scientist and computational cognitive neuroscientist at Stanford University, where I'm an associate professor of Psychology and Computer Science, and a faculty scholar at the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute. I work on science and technology challenges at the intersection of neuroscience, artificial intelligence, psychology and large-scale data analysis.
The brain is the embodiment of the most beautiful algorithms ever written. My research group, the Stanford NeuroAILab, seeks to "reverse engineer" these algorithms, both to learn both about how our minds work and build more effective artificial intelligence systems.
I also like: (a) bonsai trees, (b) playing the pipe organ, (c) traveling in Asia, and (d) history.
