Research InterestAttention allows us to selectively process the most important information in the sensory environment. I study how gamma-band (25-140Hz) oscillations that occur in brain circuits during attention shape behavior. I study the mechanisms and role of these oscillations in the optic tectum (superior colliculus), a midbrain structure involved in attention, sensory processing and gaze control, using a combination of recordings in live animals, in brain slices, and computational modeling.
