About the lab

In 2017, Brenden Lake started the Human & Machine Learning Lab at NYU. We are located in the New York City neighborhood of Greenwich Village at the Center for Data Science (60 5th Avenue, New York, NY 10011). We are also part of the NYU Department of Psychology, the larger NYU AI group known as the CILVR lab, and the Computational Cognitive Science community at NYU.
