Developing New Tools For Imaging Network Dynamics in Freely Behaving Animals

Dr. Daniel B. Aharoni is an Assistant Professor in the department of Neurology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Dr. Aharoni’s research focuses on the development and design of novel tools with application to modern neuroscience. During his graduate career he designed, build, and operated a high-speed imaging system with applications in neuroscience and particle physics. During his time as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at UCLA, Dr. Aharoni developed a novel open-source platform capable of capturing large-scale neural activity in awake, freely behaving animals. This culminated in the formation of the UCLA Miniscope Project, which his research group leads. The platform has been disseminated to many labs and is openly shared at miniscope.org.
