Bio Optical & Acoustic Spectroscopy Lab
Our lab develops novel optical methods and applies them principally to study the brain. We have recently expanded to complement our suite of technologies with high speed functional ultrasound and are considering integration with photo-acoustics. Our technologies are used for measuring brain function and physiology on microscopic to macroscopic length scales and are applied in species ranging from mice to human.
Visual Information Processing (VIP) Laboratory
The VIP Laboratory belongs to the Machine Learning, Information and Data Sciences (MINDS) group in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boston University. Its three main objectives are sponsored research, student training and technology transfer, in the broad area of visual information processing. It has been home to graduate and undergraduate students working on various projects, including visual surveillance, human-computer interfaces, 3-D video capture, representation and display, as well as biomedical image processing.
Neural Systems Analysis Laboratory
The Neural Systems Analysis Laboratory (NSA Lab) at Boston University develops new AI algorithms that harness the power of noninvasive neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and genetics data to better understand and treat brain disorders. Our work has yielded novel insights into a range of conditions, including autism, schizophrenia, and epilepsy.
MindLights Lab
Our current interests revolve around Neuroscience in the Everyday World, Open Science, and Inclusivity and Equity in Research.
