Research Interests

Research Summary:

Please see http://udel.edu/~bjgraham/ for more details and up-to-date information.

I am interested in understanding the computational properties of the brain. Specifically, how sensory information is processed and used to guide intelligent behavior. I am currently working with Dr David Northmore studying the fish midbrain. We are interested in describing the neurophysiological functioning of the nucleus isthmi, a unique nucleus that signals the distance of approaching objects using only monocular cues. Our research involves primarily electrophysiolgical and computational modeling techniques.
