The lab bridges cellular-level and systems neuroscience. We focus on understanding how cell-type-specific interactions in the cortex give rise to our sensory experience and drive sensory-guided behavior.

The lab leverages cutting-edge tools such as:

  • High-Resolution Functional Imaging: Fluorescent imaging to record large-scale neural activity.

  • Behavioral Models: Comparing cortical network dynamics across head-fixed paradigms and unconstrained, freely moving behaviors.

  • Advanced Analytics: Using population-level neural activity to decode behavior.

Graduate & Undergraduate Research Opportunities: We are actively recruiting graduate and undergraduate students to join the research group in the Department of Psychology. Trainees in the lab can expect to gain experience in the following:

  • Optical imaging and mouse surgical procedures.

  • Mouse behavioral training.

  • Quantitative analysis, signal processing, and statistical modeling.

If you are interested in exploring how cortical circuits build our representation of the world, please email Dr. Moberly with a brief introduction and your CV/resume.
