Vision of the Neural Dynamics and Behavior Group
The overarching vision of the research group Neural Dynamics and Behavior is to contribute to a greater understanding of the neural mechanisms that link changes in physiological and bodily states to our ability to perform sensory-guided tasks. In addition, we aim to reveal how disruptions in state-dependent processing contribute to the etiology of psychiatric disorders in order to achieve better outcomes for people experiencing deficits in sensory-guided behavior.
To accomplish these goals we must,
work as a team and consistently strive for an inclusive environment that fosters creativity, innovation, and a positive work mentality.
design and carry out experiments that are meaningful and that will leave a lasting impact in science.
maintain the highest standards of scientific integrity and practice.
share our science with peers and with the public.
