<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none">University of Texas at Austin<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_Hlk83387671">The laboratories of Eyal Seidemann and Bill Geisler at UT Austin are seeking applications for an NIH funded postdoctoral fellowship. Our labs are working together to investigate how neural circuits in the primate
cortex mediate visual perception. <o:p></o:p></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk83387671">Current research focuses on addressing fundamental questions regarding how visual information is encoded and decoded by neural populations in the primate cortex. To address these questions, we use
cutting-edge optical, genetic and electrophysiological techniques to measure (“read”) and manipulate (”write”) neural responses while macaque monkeys perform well-controlled perceptual tasks. Neurophysiological techniques including one- and two-photon imaging
of genetically-encoded indicators and simultaneous patterned optogenetics. The research combines neurophysiology, behavioral studies in monkeys and humans, and computational modeling.
