Bio: I am a neurobiologist interested in goal-directed behavior. My laboratory is focused on the role of the prefrontal cortex in learning, executive control, and decision making. We use methods such as multi-electrode recordings, optogenetics, machine learning tools, and computational models in our research. We also develop and advocate for the use of open-source software and hardware in neuroscience research through the OpenBehavior project.
