"The ultimate goal of our work is to investigate how large numbers of interconnected neurons throughout the brain interact in real time and how their dynamics lead to behavior," says Vaziri, an associate professor and head of Laboratory of Neurotechnology and Biophysics. "By developing a new method based on 'light sculpting' and using it to capture the activity of the majority of the neurons within a large portion of the cortex, a layered brain structure involved amongst others in higher brain function, we have taken a significant step in this direction."
