"Cracking the Brain’s Code with Mathematics" December 12, 2025
featuring MOST Fellow Julie Geraci
How does the brain make sense of the world around us? One way to explore this question is by studying patterns of activity in groups of neurons — so-called neural codes. These patterns can be written as simple strings of zeros and ones, and mathematics provides powerful tools for uncovering the hidden structure they reveal. Join MOST Fellow Julie Geraci to discover how mathematical ideas shed light on the way the brain organizes and processes information. Through vivid examples and interactive puzzles, see how something as basic as binary codes can offer surprising insight into the workings of the mind.
MOST provides opportunities for students to explore engaging math with dynamic, early-career female mathematicians. To learn more about MOST, visit momath.org/most.
