Welcome to The Schnitzer Lab

Our lab works at the intersection of neuroscience, physics, engineering, and artificial intelligence to develop and apply advanced optical, robotic, and computational techniques for elucidating neural dynamics and information processing in behaving animals. 

We use these tools to study how networks of neurons across brain areas process information during visual perception and motor control, and how these dynamics are altered over the course of learning or in brain disease states.
