CSL2

The Comparative Sensorimotor Learning Lab (CSL2)

We use a combination of neurophysiology and behavior to study implicit learning, sensory perception, and memory in humans and marine mammals.

Students apprenticing for research in marine mammals first learn how to acquire clean electrical signals from human brains before attempting to do the same on marine species.
