COMPUTATIONAL PHYSIOLOGY LABORATORY

The CPLab is an interdepartmental neuroscience research laboratory at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. Work in our lab centers around questions about neural coding, neuromodulation, and the neural bases of learning and memory processes, and is mostly based in the olfactory systems of rats and mice. We use whatever technical methods and tools necessary to answer our questions of interest, though our primary approach is to triangulate on these questions using a range of methods including electrophysiological recordings both in vivo and from optogenetically active brain slices (using a specialized recording rig and custom Ceed software), behavior analysis (using our deep learning-based video analysis application Annolid), 3D brain imaging using optically cleared tissue and light-sheet microscopy, and a wide variety of computational methods. We also develop neuromorphic learning algorithms for implementation in artificial systems... We are hiring a lab technician to anchor our work in 3D..
