Overcoming challenges to imaging and manipulating
neuronal activity with light
Brains are three-dimensional
but traditional microscopes image one plane at a time.
We are developing light field imaging systems that image an entire volume with a single camera frame.

Mammalian brains scatter light strongly
We image fluorophores that emit red light less scattered than shorter wavelengths

and develop post-processing methods to mitigate blur caused by scattering.

Neurons communicate with small, rapid signals
Resolving the smallest and fastest of these signals requires high photon fluxes to overcome shot noise. We develop high photon budget neuronal imaging methods based on widefield,
