Latest Update: “Implementing Parallel Processing for Faster Spike Sorting”
Current Research Spotlight
I’m currently investigating how feedback projections from the gustatory cortex influence taste processing in subcortical regions. This research challenges traditional views of sensory processing as a purely feedforward mechanism and suggests a more dynamic, recurrent network.
Research Question:
How do cortical feedback projections modulate the temporal dynamics of taste processing in the amygdala and thalamus?
