Noninvasive monitoring of brain activity
currently recruiting graduate students
The brain is complicated, with more neuronal connections than atoms in the universe. However, we are currently trying to understand the brain by recording its activity with few signals at a time.
In this high-impact research project we are developing methods to noninvasively record activity of large numbers of brain circuits at once with molecular precision.
