Gareth GuvanasenAddress:
Laboratory for Neuroengineering
Georgia Institute of Technology
313 Ferst Drive
Atlanta, GA 30332, USAResearch Interest:
Neuronal Electrophysiology, Computational Neuroscience, Control Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision
Current Research Work:
Gareth's research involves the development of extracellular stimulation protocols to enable greater control over neuronal excitation and inhibition. At present, he is using calcium fluorescence imaging and electrical stimulation/recording techniques to construct models for living neural networks. In applying these models, he aims to close the loop around living neural networks to provide more efficacious stimuli and to investigate new neuronal learning mechanisms.
