My research focuses on computational neuroscience. Specifically, I am interested in describing the motor and sensory systems using computational approaches. Currently, I am working on understanding the neural strategies that the motor cortex employs to generate rhythmic and discrete movements, and the neural strategies that the pedal ganglion of Aplysia uses to generate multiple locomotion modes. For this, I apply mathematical and machine-learning tools to quantify and model animal behaviour and its underlying neural activity.
