In collaboration with other labs at Rice (Pasquali, Robinson, Veeraraghavan), we are developing new tools for interfacing with the brain. Our work includes: using cutting-edge flexible materials such as carbon nanotube fibers to make new kinds of flexible electrodes; building new technologies for inserting flexible electrodes without stiffening; developing battery-powered embedded systems for chronic brain stimulation; and developing new types of implantable microscopes for imaging brain activity More information... We design systems to interact with complex neural circuits in vivo in behaving rodents. These systems enable us to explore how information is processed, stored, and retrieved in both healthy brains and in models of human neurological diseases and disorders. The experimental neurobiological topics we focus most on are understanding memory and the mechanisms of deep brain stimulation. Additionally, we do a signicant amount of pure neural interface technology development as..
