CURRENT: Contextual modulation of sensorimotor behavior

Our brains are able to flexibly guide the way we perceive, decide, and act in the face of varying incentives and challenges. How does it do this? In my research, I design novel behavioral tasks, record from populations of neurons in visual, prefrontal, and motor cortices, and use computational tools to link behavior to brain activity.
