Kyle and I talk about his work modeling the basal ganglia and its circuitry to control whether we take an action and how we select among alternative actions. We also reflect on his experiences in academia, the larger picture of what it’s like in graduate school and after - at least in a computational neuroscience program - why he left, what he’s doing now, and how it all fits together.
