  Alice Cronin-Golomb

  Professor, Psychological & Brain Sciences

  Prof. Cronin-Golomb conducts research on visual factors influencing high-order cognitive capacities in normal aging and age-related neurological disease, with special emphasis on object identification in Alzheimer’s disease and visuospatial function in Parkinson’s disease. Her work is supported by the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke (NIH). Prof. Cronin-Golomb’s students and research associates are conducting […]

  Ian Davison

  Associate Professor, Biology

  Our lab studies the neural circuits that underlie perception and behavior in the olfactory system. Smell is notorious for its links to emotion and memory, and in the animal world, it is also a powerful trigger of innate behaviors like aggression, courtship, and fear. Our overall goal is to establish the circuit architecture and computational […]

  Rachel Denison

  Assistant Professor, Psychological & Brain Sciences

  How does the brain generate our ongoing perceptual experience? The Denison Lab studies visual perception, attention, and decision making, with a focus on temporal dynamics. The lab’s research integrates behavioral measurements (psychophysics, eye tracking), neural measurements (fMRI, EEG/MEG), and computational modeling.

  Nancy Kopell

  Professor, Mathematics & Statistics

  For the last two decades, Prof. Kopell has worked on mathematical problems in neuroscience. Her current interests parallel the themes of the Cognitive Rhythms Collaborative: how does the brain produce its dynamics (physiological mechanisms), how do brain rhythms take part in cognition (sensory processing, attention, memory, motor control), and how can pathologies of brain dynamics […]

  Sam Ling

  Associate Professor, Psychological & Brain Sciences

  The glut of information available for the brain to process at any given moment necessitates an efficient attentional system that can “pick and choose” what relevant information receives prioritized processing. Interestingly, a growing body of work suggests that one powerful way that attention separates the wheat from the chaff is by altering some of the […]

  Gabriel Ocker

  Assistant Professor, Mathematics & Statistics

  I work in theoretical neuroscience, studying structure-function relations in neuronal network models. How does neural activity encode sensory information and drive behavior? How do neural circuits evolve, learn, and adapt to shape that activity? How does that connectivity shape activity, and what computations does that activity perform? My group studies models of neural circuits, often […]

  Robert Reinhart

  Associate Professor, Psychological & Brain Sciences

  Research in my laboratory seeks to understand (i) the nature of visual perception and cognition (e.g., attention, working memory, executive control, learning) in the healthy adult brain, (ii) how these processes breakdown in aging and neuropsychiatric illnesses, such as schizophrenia, and (iii) how we can leverage insights from basic and clinical science to develop novel […]

  Kathleen Rockland

  Research Professor, Anatomy & Neurobiology

  Dr. Rockland received her doctorate at Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine (1979), working on feedforward and feedback cortical connections with Dr. Deepak Pandya. She completed postdoctoral studies on patchy horizontal intrinsic collaterals with Jennifer Lund at the Medical University of South Carolina, and began an independent laboratory in 1983 at the E.K. Shriver Center […]

  David Somers

  Professor & Chair, Psychological & Brain Sciences

  My research employs functional MRI, psychophysics, and computational modeling to investigate the mechanisms underlying visual perception and cognition. My laboratory performs experiments to identify the human brain circuitry which support different visual tasks, and to study how different cognitive factors such as attention modulate these circuits. Modeling work investigates the computational mechanisms at work in […]

  Lucia Vaina

  Professor, Biomedical Engineering

  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 […]

  Meg Younger

  Assistant Professor, Biology

  Meg earned a BS in neural science with honors in 2004 from New York University. As an undergraduate, she worked with Justin Blau at NYU on circadian rhythms in Drosophila and with David Spray at Albert Einstein College of Medicine on mammalian gap junction channels. She went on to earn a PhD in neuroscience from […]

  Basilis Zikopoulos

  Associate Professor, Health Sciences

  Our research focuses on the study of the organization and dynamics of cortical brain circuits, and their disruption in disease. We use experimental and theoretical (computational) approaches to study molecular, synaptic, cellular interactions and interareal network connectivity, as the basis of cognitive and emotional processing for flexible attention and goal-oriented behavior.
