How do neural circuits perform the computations that drive visually guided behaviors? To answer this question, Limor will use computational approaches and engineering solutions. First, she would like to define the algorithms used to extract specific types of visual information and to link these features to behavioral modulations. Then, using in vivo imaging to record activity and statistical modeling to quantify behavioral responses, she will try to connect these computations to specific neurons. By focusing on a model organism, the fruit fly, she hopes to gain insight into the general mechanisms of neural computation relevant to even humans. |
