We study neuronal circuits for cognition. Basic research in the lab involves recording and manipulating neurons during visual tasks to learn how brain areas interact during cognition. The results are used for improving neurostimulation for the treatment of psychiatric disorders and designing more naturalistic visuomotor guidance of robots.
