I am interested in mechanisms underlying  response properties of neurons in primary sensory cortex using both electrophysiology and imaging in vivo.  As sensory information moves from the periphery to the cortex the representation of the world is systematically transformed. Understanding the basis for these transformations sheds light on how the brain makes sense of the complicated world in which we reside.

Andrew Tan

Andrew studies the synaptic organization of the auditory and visual cortices.  He is interested in approaches that help bridge knowledge gained from in vitro and in vivo experiments.  His first published tone-evoked inhibitory synaptic currents from an auditory cortex neuron is an exemplar of sparklines in Edward Tufte's "Beautiful Evidence".

Sari Andoni

He received a Bachelors degree in Computer Sciences and Mathematics from Brigham Young University, and a PhD from the Institute for Neuroscience at The University of Texas at Austin. He currently studies the interaction of spontaneous activity with stimulus-evoked responses in the thalamocortical circuit of the visual system.

Ben Scholl

I am interested in mechanisms of cortical sensory processing. In the past I worked in the auditory cortex, but I currently focus on primary visual cortex. To study these neural mechanisms I use a variety of techniques including in vivo two-photon imaging and in vivo whole cell recordings.
