We record high-density neural data as animals engage in naturalistic behaviors and solve complex tasks.

We use high-resolution videography to track whole-body motion during complex behaviors.

We will develop optogenetic manipulations to test the extent and dynamics of the interactions between action and cognition.

We will combine standardized behavioral assays with novel assays to gain insights into naturalistic behaviors.

Big data begets big opportunities. We will develop analytical methods to assess cognitive-motor flexibility by integrating data across species.
