Research

We are a combination neuroscience & neuroengineering lab. About half of the lab develops tools and techniques for measuring and manipulating the activity of neurons in the living brain. A focus of this work is multiphoton imaging. The other half of the lab uses these tools to gain insights into principles of brain function.
