The Benisty Lab is an interdisciplinary computational neuroscience lab that develops geometric frameworks to study high-dimensional, time-varying brain activity. We cast biological questions into mathematical formulations and develop advanced, interpretable methods for neural data analysis. Our work spans diverse recording modalities and spatiotemporal resolutions, including electrophysiology, calcium imaging (cellular or global), and fMRI, to characterize how neural representations, dynamics, and connectivity reorganize over time. We investigate how experience reshapes neural dynamics and how brain-wide organization shifts across a continuum of timescales, from minutes-long spatial cognition to learning-driven changes over days, to longer-lasting physiological transitions such as pregnancy, and to neurodegenerative conditions.

About
About
I am a senior lecturer (assistant professor) at the Technion, Faculty of Medicine, also affiliated with the Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences. I completed a Postdoctoral fellowship in the Neuroscience department at Yale University, with Prof. Michael Higley (Neuroscience) and Prof. Ronald Coifman (Applied Math). I completed my Ph.D. at the Technion's Faculty of Electrical Engineering, working with Profs. David Malah and Koby Crammer, and collaborated with Prof. Ronen Talmon and Prof. Jackie Schiller.
My research is primarily focused on investigating the dynamics of neuronal networks and how their organizational principles, functional connectivity, and plasticity mechanisms relate to behavior and learning in healthy subjects (both animals and humans) and in models of neurodevelopmental or degenerative disorders.
I develop novel approaches for analyzing and modeling biological and artificial networks based on dynamical systems, graph theory, manifold learning, and machine learning.
