ABOUT

Welcome to Visual Neuroscience Laboratory.

There are two research fields in the lab, including retinal neurobiology and cephalopod neuroethology.

Neural circuitry

Using electrophysiology and modeling to study how retinal ganglion cells encode visual information efficiently.

Neural regeneration

Using cultured retinal ganglion cells, retinal explants, retinal organoid to study how increased neural activity..

Sensorimotor integration

Using light/electrical stimulations, ethogram analysis, MRI imaging, video recording, and DeepLabCut tracking ..

Decision making

Using the two-alternative forced choice behavioral paradigm to study how cuttlefish make foraging..
