Real-time analysis of neural activity and functional connectivity

June 16, 2021

Trainee award talk, BRAIN Initiative Investigators Meeting, virtual

I was selected for a trainee highlight award talk at the 2021 BRAIN Initiative investigators meeting. I presented our recent work on adaptive group photostimulation and visual stimlus optimization.

Real-time neural modeling for adaptive neuroscience experiments

May 07, 2021

Colloquium talk, NYU Langone Tech4Health, virtual

I discussed our work on adaptive designs to enable real-time, interventional experiments in neuroscience. In particular, I highlighted our recent paper on estimating functional connectivity through ensemble stimulations and discussed our adaptive software platform to make such experiments a reality.

Mapping the dynamic brain

January 26, 2021

Research talk, Duke University, Duke Research Week, virtual

I was selected for a postdoc research talk showcase during the 2021 Duke Research Week. I presented our recent work on how to conduct causal experiments in neuroscience at scale, from small circuits to entire brains.

A flexible real-time platform for adaptive neuroscience experiments

October 22, 2020

Research talk, IEEE Brain Workshop on Advanced Neurotechnologies, virtual

My talk on our software platform, improv, won the Best Poster award. I showcased the various applications for adaptive experimental designs and how real-time analyses can drastically speed-up discovery in neuroscience.
