About

Richard Hakim is a research fellow at the Kempner Institute at Harvard University.

Research Focus

Richard Hakim studies neural decoding and brain-computer-interfaces (BCIs). His prior work is primarily experimental and includes studies on how movement is encoded in the motor cortex, how brain oscillations are generated, and the development of a suite of open-source computational tools. Moving forward, he is excited by emerging research into foundation models for BCI decoding and aims to leverage principles derived from artificial intelligence to better understand the structure and function of biological brains.
