| Introduction | I'm a PhD candidate in neuroscience at Brandeis University. I finished serving in the Peace Corps in Ukraine a couple of years ago and moved to Boston. Now I'm taking some classes, helping to teach a couple classes, tutoring English to international students, and researching the relative contributions of visually-evoked and spontaneous activity of neurons in the cortex to information processing. |
