Welcome!
Our lab studies how neural activity gives rise to complex perceptual and cognitive functions. A fundamental challenge for the nervous system is to combine noisy and ambiguous information arriving from multiple senses, as well as information stored in memory, to guide a successful action. We investigate this multi-modal decision process using quantitative behavioral measurements, combined with modern tools for recording and manipulating neural activity in behaving nonhuman primates. Our goal is to uncover basic mechanisms underlying higher brain function, and to help pave the way toward developing or enhancing treatments for neurological disorders.
About Us
The lab is located in the Zanvyl Krieger Mind/Brain Institute on the Homewood campus of Johns Hopkins University, and is directed by Dr. Christopher Fetsch, Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience.
Thanks to our funding sources!
