About

Our researchers are particularly interested in characterizing flexibility and variability in neural circuits — for example, how the dynamics of large neural ensembles change over the course of learning a new skill, during periods of high attention or task engagement, or during development and aging.

Summarizing these processes even on a descriptive level is a difficult and unsolved challenge in need of new analysis tools.
