## Background

I’m currently a master’s student with a background in psychology and cognitive neuroscience. I am seeking to specialize in computational psychiatry, I currently collaborate with computational neuroscience and predictive learning labs. I am seeking PhD possibilities to merge these two areas utilizing an active inference framework.

## Active Inference Application

I am currently a guest student researcher at the maastricht predlab, so I am currently in a learning stage. I plan to start applying it to my research by trying out predictive coding-inspired algorithms and architectures in deep neural networks, and apply brain-similarity as well geometrical studies to these networks.

## Learning Needs

I think youtube videos following along a repository / notebook to code after seeing explanations would help me a lot to know how to apply it directly.
