Neurophysiology Research
University Of Arizona - Evelyn Mcknight Brain Institute And Arl - Neural Systems, Memory And Aging
Staff Researcher, Neurophysiology Specialist, Arizona Research Laboratories, Division of Neural Systems, Memory and Aging, University of Arizona.Research aimed at a deeper understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying learning, spatial memory, navigation, valuation & aging.Neuroscience Electrophysiology: Designed, executed, and analyzed several experiments with sub-cranial high-density-electrode recordings from behaving animals (rats, primates) both in the discrete (spikes) and continuous (EEG time-series) domain.. Correlating neural recordings with behavioral data from position tracking, 3D-head tracking, 3D-virtual reality performances, eye-tracking, etc. (Matlab, C/C++, Visual Basic, OpenGL)Neuroscience Histology: Analysis of neural activity via confocal microscopy imagery of fluorescent stained immediate early genes expressed in nuclei and cytoplasm . (VTK/ITK, OpenCV)Medical Imaging: Developed cross-entropy based image registration software for aligning CT with MRI images.
