The primary focus of our group is to apply a diversity of analytical tools, including network science approaches to corticalcircuit dynamics in order to: 1) establish the higher-order cellular and synaptic mechanisms that propagate spikes, 2) to build improved encoding and decoding models of single-trial circuit activity in behaving mammals, and 3) to compare and contrast sensory and motor areas of neocortex.
