Visual Behavior in Rodents
Recently we have started training rodents (rats, squirrels) to perform visual discrimination tasks. Click here to check out a cool video!

Automated Training Environment
We have developed an automated, live-in, visual training and testing environment for rodents.

Contrast Adaptation and Neural Coding
We have extended our description of the neural code to include effects of contrast adaptation, with several surprises!

Visual Pathways in Rodents
We are also tracing the anatomy of visual pathways in rodents, with a veiw towards manipuating these circuits experimentally.

Bursting in the LGN
We have a long-standing interest in whether burst firing patterns are important for coding visual information. This recent theoretical work shows that bursts recorded in the LGN do carry distinct visual information from other spikes.
