New Website
Welcome to our new website. We went through a number of brainstorming sessions to think of a new name for the lab. In the end, we decided to keep the old lab name Madlab but also decided it should stand for something other than Memory and Decision Making Laboratory (the old name). Maybe Mind and Data Lab or Modeling and Data Lab? Another decision was to refer to members of the lab as mindeaters loosely based on the uci mascot Peter the Anteater:
