To meet the need for real-time multifunctional control, we have developed a hybrid Boolean model framework capable of modeling neural bursting activity and simple biomechanics at speeds faster than real time.
Frontiers in Neurorobotics
In this work, we extend our previously-developed method for tuning networks of non-spiking neurons, the “Functional subnetwork approach” (FSA), to the tuning of networks composed of spiking neurons.
Optica
We introduce a method that enables optical diffraction tomography to be applied to imaging incoherent contrast mechanisms such as fluorescent emission. Our strategy mimics the coherent scattering process with two spatially coherent illumination beams.
PLOS Biology
Using mRNA sequencing and de novo transcriptome assembly, we identified, cloned, and characterized 9 previously undiscovered fluorescent protein homologs from Aequorea victoria and a related Aequorea species, with most sequences highly divergent from A. victoria green fluorescent protein.
Journal of Neurophysiology
Both experimenter-controlled stimuli and stimulus-independent variables impact cortical neural activity. A major hurdle to understanding neural representation is distinguishing between qualitatively different causes of the fluctuating population activity.
Scientific Reports
We report a strategy for visualized injection of a calcium dye, Oregon Green BAPTA-1 AM (OGB-1 AM), at 500-600 µm below the surface of the mouse visual cortex in vivo.
We implemented state-of-the-art pulse measurements and developed new techniques for examining the performance of lasers used in three-photon microscopy. We then demonstrated how these techniques can be used to provide precise measurements of pulse shape, pulse energy and pulse-to-pulse variability.

We present here, for the first time to our knowledge, a monolithc offset quantum dot integration platform that permits formation of a laser cavity utilizing both the robust quantum dot active region and the versatility of passive GaAs waveguide structures.
Nature Communications
We use widefield and 2-photon calcium imaging of transgenic mice to measure mesoscale and cellular responses to coherent motion.
