Neural circuits, computation and behavior

We are a neuroscience research group at Harvard University interested in understanding the neural and algorithmic basis of sensory-guided behaviors in  animals. We use a broad range of experimental and computational methods in our pursuit.

We are affiliated with several units at Harvard:
Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology
Center for Brain Science
Kempner Institute
Program in Neuroscience
Program in Biophysics
