Our new paper out in Nature Communications shows that the brain can selectively enhance different modes of sensory processing during perception. nature.com/articles/s4146…
The Dragoi Lab is looking for 2 new post docs to join our team!🎉 Apply through Nature Careers, Society for Neuroscience (SfN) job center, or directly through our lab website (sites.google.com/uth.edu/dragoi…). Definitely not biased, but there’s exciting science and cool people😎 Melissa Franch Sunny Nigam
Our recent paper in Nature Neuroscience uses wireless recording to decode subjective beliefs in freely-roaming macaques. Available here: nature.com/articles/s4159…
Check out our new paper out in Nature Neuroscience, which reveals a rapid compensatory mechanism for quenching co-activation in neural networks. nature.com/articles/s4159…
I also want to thank MD Anderson-UTH Grad and Dragoi Lab for giving me the chance I was seeking. From my first rotation, I knew I wanted to complete this project and the lab provided me with all the resources to excel, including invaluable mentors like Sudha, Arun, xaq, Sunny Nigam
