From Options to Actions: Studying Decisions in Navigating Rats

Sukriti Gupta (Graduate Student, UCLA)

Making decisions is part of daily life, but not all choices are the same. Some involve comparing options directly, while others require accepting or rejecting based on past experience. In my research, I study these decisions in rats by baiting them with uncertain sugar rewards, focusing on how choices unfold across space.

Wayne Wu (Postdoctoral Researcher)

AI is reshaping how we move through cities—from delivery robots to intelligent scooters. Learn how we train machines to handle real-world chaos using a massive virtual city and how smarter mobility could make your commute smoother and streets safer.
