Matthias Stangl

Research in my lab focuses on how the human brain supports critical cognitive and behavioral functions in our everyday life, such as spatial navigation and memory, and on the neural mechanisms that underlie age-related impairments in these functions. From a methodological perspective, we employ novel neurotechnologies and advanced methodologies such as deep brain recordings in […]

Lucia Vaina

Dr. Vaina’s main areas of current interest involve: (a) models of visual motion analysis in the human brain based on computational, psychophysical, structural and functional-neuroanatomical methods; (b) functional plasticity-learning and neurocovery: physchophysics, functional neuroimaging and neuronal network models; (c) Functional MRI of the human visual system. Her research interests include: computational visual neuroscience: neuronal mechanisms […]

John White

Prof. White’s laboratory uses engineering approaches to understand how information is processed in the brain, with the goal of exploiting these findings to improve the human condition. Ongoing and future research questions include the following: Why is coherent electrical activity of the cortex necessary for mental processes like learning and memory? What factors control this […]
