Description: Nick Steinmetz, neuroscientist
Nick Steinmetz
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Structure at the University of Washington in Seattle and a member of the International Brain Lab .
My lab focuses on understanding the neural circuits and systems that underlie perception and cognition across the brain. We approach these problems with a combination of large-scale electrophysiology with Neuropixels probes, calcium imaging across neocortical areas, and systematic optogenetic manipulations, all in combination with sophisticated behavioral tasks for mice.
