The unit’s principal emphasis is to undestand how networks of neurons shape sensory inputs to control voluntary behaviors in everyday life as well as the neural mechanisms that underlie the changes that occur during learning and formation of new memories. To this end investigators combine neuroensemble and stimulation of discrete brain regions to better understand neural basis of self-motion and visual perception. Additionally, on-going work considers whether and how the brain adapts to prosthetic neural interfaces designed to replace sensory and motor function.
