Dr. Neeraj Gandhi
Our research explores how the same population of neurons can multiplex numerous dimensions of information, and what algorithms limit the decoding to a certain subset of dimensions. We are also interested in principles of neuronal communication. We address these topics using a combination of experimental paradigms, including brain-computer interface, and computational methods in the context of sensation, cognition, and action.

Feiran Yang
Feiran is involed in two research projects. One focuses on understanding how the superior colliculus, at a population level, represents moving objects and motor commands for the interceptive eye movement. The second involves developing a brain-computer interface that requires volitional control of small groups of superior colliculus neurons to understand how sensation and action are differentially encoded in the same group of neurons.

Eve Ayar
Eve’s research efforts concern characterizing the time-course of the transition from sensory to motor bursts. She uses dimensionality reduction methods to visualize retained latent dimensions in state space to determine if the population responses of different paradigms occupy the same visual and motor subspaces. Similar occupancy patterns would imply that downstream structures do not differentiate between the behavioral tasks when processing the visual and motor signals.
