  Kate Nussenbaum

  Assistant Professor, Psychological & Brain Sciences

  Director: Computation, Learning, & Development Lab My research aims to understand developmental changes in value-guided learning, memory, and exploration from childhood to early adulthood. By combining novel behavioral tasks with fMRI and computational modeling, I address questions about how, across development, people adapt their learning processes to the demands of varied contexts. How do children, adolescents, […]

  Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering

  The central premise of our research is that we can improve treatments for various brain and spinal cord disorders by developing new bioengineered strategies that can favorably regulate glial cell functions. Across all projects we aim to achieve two key outcomes: (i) Contribute to furthering fundamental glia biology knowledge, and (ii) Developing new bioengineering solutions […]

  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 […]

  Yannis Paschalidis

  Professor, Electrical & Computer Engineering

  Prof. Paschalidis completed his graduate education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) receiving an MS (1993) and a PhD (1996) degree, both in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. In September 1996 he joined Boston University where he has been ever since. He has held visiting appointments with MIT and Columbia University. His research interests […]

  Tyler Perrachione

  Associate Professor, Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences

  Prof. Perrachione is the director of the Communication Neuroscience Research Laboratory. The lab's work focuses on developmental disorders of language and reading, human voice recognition and social auditory perception, mechanisms of plasticity in the human auditory cortex, and brain bases of complex auditory processing, including speech and voice perception.

  Siddharth Ramachandran

  Professor, Electrical & Computer Engineering

  The Ramachandran Group studies the fundamental properties and applications of spatially structured light beams. Examples of such states of light include (a) Bessel beams that can self-heal through obstructions and are diffraction resistant for longer distances than conventional Gaussian beams; (b) beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) that enable super-resolution microscopy or rotate microscopic particles […]

  Steve Ramirez

  Associate Professor, Psychological & Brain Sciences

  The mission of my lab is twofold: to reveal the neural circuit mechanisms of memory storage and retrieval, and to artificially modulate memories to combat maladaptive states. We will do so in a multi-disciplinary fashion by combining virus engineering strategies, immunohistochemistry and physiology, optogenetics and functional imaging of targeted populations in vivo, and a battery […]

  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 […]
