Neurocomputational mechanisms refer to the study of how the brain processes and computes information. This area of research focuses on understanding the neural circuits, algorithms, and computational principles that underlie various cognitive functions such as perception, memory, decision-making, and learning. By combining insights from neuroscience and computer science, researchers aim to develop computational models that can simulate and predict brain activity, as well as explain how the brain performs complex tasks. Neurocomputational mechanisms play a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the brain and ultimately improving treatments for neurological disorders.
