Research Overview

The Miller Laboratory uses neurophysiological and computational techniques to study the circuits and network dynamics underlying goal-directed thought and action. Topics include working memory, attention, categorization, rule-learning, and consciousness. Much of our work focuses on the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s “executive”.
The painting represents patterns of oscillatory synchrony in the cortex. It was inspired by Buschman et al 2012 Neuron. dx.doi.org/10.1016%2Fj.neuron.2012.09.029
Painting by Eric Denovellis, Stefan Berteau, Jessie Gilbert, and Kayle Sawyer.
