Research
Our lab is composed by a mix of experimentalist and teoriticians, this allows us to have lots of interactions between the people who perform the experiments and the people who perform different processings and analysis. Here you will find more information about what we do from both sides.
Recording Techniques
Example from Voltage Sensitive Imaging
Depending on the brain phenomena we want to study we can decide on which spatial and temporal resolution is appropiate for our experiments. At the lab we use a set of different recording techniques that allows us to cover a broad spectrum on both spacial and temporal resolution.
Behavioural Paradigms
Example of Social Interaction Task.
To understand brain activity and it relationship with context and sensory stimuli we use different behavioural paradigms. This includes freely moving mice where behaviour is triggered by the animals willingness to explore and head fixed mice where we have a more controled set of contextual and sensory stimuli.
Technical Development
Example of our VR visual stimuli
Sometimes the behaviours we want to study or the particular brain phenomena we are interested in required a set of tools that are not necesary available commercialy. This is why we devevelop out own recording tools and experimental setups that are original and useful for answering our questions.
Computation and Data Analysis
Example of preprocessing of multiple trials of calcium imaging recordings.
We are interested in studying brain’s activity as a whole. This is why our analysis are mostly focused on populations of neurons.
