Neuroscience:
Experimental: Neuromodulation and the role of 'noise' in neural computations.Communication between large networks of neurons. Spike timing and reliability.
Rat hippocampus in vitro neurophysiology: oscillations, neuromodulation of intrinsic and network properties. Rat prefrontal cortex in vitro neurophysiology: Spike timing and reliability, reverberatory activity (using dynamic clamp and hybrid models), role of dopamine. Extracellular multi unit (tetrode) recordings in the behaving rat: modulation of place field properties by neuromodulators.
Theoretical: Working (prefrontal cortex) and short term (hippocampus) memory - Cortical design principles for noisy and multi-frequency systems. Population codes. Computational roles of neuromodulation. Neural substrates of emotion.
Psychology:
Face perception: identifying and extracting facial information such as sex, emotion or age from static pictures. Computer based face recognition. Use of facial metric information for face perception.
Computer Science:
Distributed Artificial Intelligence - Multi agent architectures - Parallel, multi-processors MIMD machines.
