Beau Lotto
Beau Lotto is a neuroscientist and visiting scholar at New York University whose research investigates how the brain processes uncertainty across cellular, computational, and perceptual dimensions.
His work aims to uncover fundamental principles of biologically-inspired innovation and adaptation.
Beyond academia, Lotto created the "Lab of Misfits," combining experiential public art with neuroscience to create perception experiments and games.
Known for his TED-style speaking abilities, he excels at communicating complex scientific concepts to general audiences.
His research explores the intersection of perception, brain plasticity, and creativity, examining how ecological environments—both external and internal—shape neural development and influence our capacity for innovative thinking and adaptive behavior.
