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.
