Biography

Mayank Mehta's PhD work was in supersymmetric QFT. Since then he has developed minimal, biophysical theories of brain function and tested those theories using in vivo multielectrode experiments. His recent research has probed how neurons create abstract ideas such as space-time using virtual reality. This has provided surprising insights.
