Irving Bigio
Dr. Bigio’s research considers the development of minimally-invasive, research-oriented, and clinical (both diagnostic and therapeutic) tools based on optical technologies which span the breadth of the human body. His topics of study include optical biopsy, sensors to monitor the response of tumors to specific treatments, real-time imaging feedback systems for tissue profiling and guidance during […]

Population Responses of Living Neural Networks to Periodic Drive
Mentors Project Description The hippocampal formation (HF) in mammals is responsible for collecting information about the sensory world and, if appropriate, storing that information as memories, to be offloaded to other brain structures later. The HF has a number of notable response properties, including nested, quasi-periodic activity. In this project, the student will work with […]
