Neural Dynamics & Population coding With new technologies we are able to record simultaneously from large populations of neurons from single or multiple areas. We study how signals regarding the world are encoded in the temporal dynamics and population codes of large populations of neurons.

BonVision: In collaboration with NeuroGEARS Ltd, we developed BonVision, an open-source visual stimulus generator, that is accessible and enables the generation of replicable open- and closed-loop experiments, including virtual and augmented reality environments.

However, much of our understanding of vision is limited to when one is sitting in a fixed spot. We made many discoveries observering how visual processing altered when animals are running over a treadmill. We continue this research and are also now investigating how this is altered when animals are freely to move around the environment.

We investigate the circuits and computations helping interpret of vision for space, and have been discovering the complex interactions between the visual and spatial systems.

While the HD system is known to faithfully follow visual cues, how the visual system supports this is not fully understood. Taking advantage of a seamless cylindrical augmented reality environment, and chronic large-scale electrophysiology, we are investigating the circuits and computations enabling the transformation of visual information to head-direction.
