Meet the researchers decoding the brain.

Principal Investigator

Ali Mohebi

Principal Investigator

Behavioral neuroscientist and electrical engineer investigating how neuromodulatory circuits shape learning, decision-making, and cognitive control.

Research Scientist

Brings experience studying how catecholamine systems shape prefrontal cognition, motivation, and goal-directed behavior.

Research Scientist

Brings expertise in striatal microcircuits and dopamine–acetylcholine interactions, including cellular imaging and neuronal-ensemble analysis.

Graduate Student

Works at the intersection of neurobiology and computer science, with an interest in computational models of neural circuits and cognition.

Associate Professor, UCSF

Collaborates on how dopamine signals represent reward timing and adapt to environmental timescales.

Associate Professor, University of Zurich

Contributes expertise in genetically encoded fluorescent neuromodulator sensors and in vivo imaging.

Assistant Professor, TU Dresden

Contributes computational-neuroscience and neural-data modeling expertise for linking cognitive algorithms to circuit dynamics.
