Our multidisciplinary team is composed of six PIs. Three systems neurophysiology labs combine their expertise in parsing complex visual scenes, multimodal sensory binding and neurogenetics, and sensorimotor integration and control. They align efforts with shared experimental frameworks and synergistic datasets. The team will leverage innovative methods bridging dynamical systems and deep learning, generative perception models and neuromorphic control, and network architectures to establish a FLAP framework for integrating decision and control.
