how does neocortex work?
 
are there principles and rules that govern this complexity  (of oper of neocortex)
 
what are the elementary principles that underlie cortical computations
quest to discover the cononical algo implemented by cortical microcircuits.
 
combine  ephys and 2P imaging  for multi-neuronal recording
with molec techniques for circuit tracing.
 
focus is on visual system of mice and macaques.
 
in collab with Peter Saggau:  fast in vivo 3d
2PM based on  3d random access multi-hoton excitaiton.
 
 in collaboration with Dr. Peter Saggau we have developed a fast in vivo 3D two-photon microscope based on 3D random-access multi-photon excitation. This microscope employs a series of acousto-optical deflectors that enable us to generate arbitrary 3D scanning paths at frame rates two orders of magnitude faster than current state-of-the-art two-photon imaging systems. We are also working on developing novel chronic high-density multi-electrode recording methods
