Research Statement
I am interested in how the coordinated activity of neuronal populations allows organisms to “make sense” of their surroundings and the methods to measure this activity and interfere with it. My research at the ESI aims at using functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI) and electrophysiological recordings in the marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) to further our understanding of the physiological mechanisms of inter-areal neuronal communication.
