We are the Brain Dynamics and Control Research Group @ Washington University in St. Louis, a cross-disciplinary academic research lab addressing problems that intersect engineering and brain science.
Learn about our work. . Join Us!Examples of the types of problems we think about:
Examining how circuits in the brain encode information over short time-scales
Article on arXiv. . Code on GitHub.Studying how sensory networks enable detection and response associated with attractive and aversive stimuli.
Article in Journal of Neuroscience . Code on GitHubBuilding new dynamical systems models of brain networks over large spatial scales.
Article in NeuroImage . Code on GitHubFinding new ways of analyzing brain electrical and imaging data to aid patient care.
Article in Clinical NeurophysiologyNew project! Watch this space...
We are grateful for current and prior support from the following agencies:
National Institues of Health, National Science Foundation, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Burroughs-Wellcome Fund, Army Research Office, McDonnell Center for Systems Neuroscience
We strive to share all models and code. Please get in touch if there is something specific you would like that is not readily found through our GitHub repositories.
We are currently recruiting for multiple postdoctoral positions. Projects involve the development and application of nonlinear control and optimization methods to neuroscience. Relevant background includes engineering, mathematics, physics and computational neuroscience. Candidates should have an interest in brain and/or cognitive science, though prior experience is not necessary. If you are interested, please email Dr. Ching.)
We are also currently recruiting for new Ph.D. students to join our team! If you're interested in engineering (including optimization and control theory) and/or computational neuroscience, please reach out!
