Neuroengineering and Neuromedia
We are inventing and applying tools for the analysis and engineering of brain circuits, in both humans and model systems. We anticipate that this research will enable us to confront one of the outstanding challenges for humanity: the understanding of the brain at a level of abstraction that enables us to engineer its function—repairing pathology, augmenting cognition, and revealing insights into the human condition.
Current projects include the invention of ultra-specific optical methods for shaping neural dynamics, which we are now applying to induce, alter, and correct sensations, behaviors, and brain states.
Obsessively innovative students and post-docs with strong technical backgrounds in neuroscience, engineering, and/or physics, who are intensely interested in driving the novel field of neuroengineering, and who want to learn via contributing to groundbreaking inventions and discoveries.
