Eran MukamelI have moved to UCSD! If you are not redirected automatically, follow the link to UCSDMy research explores how complex biological networks interact across spatial and time scales during brain development and in support of brain function during waking and unconscious states.Brain development requires billions of individual neurons and glial cells to form the web of connections that make up the brain's computational circuits. A key component of healthy brain development is the refinement of cells' specialized phentotypes through multiple epigenetic processes. I am interested in how DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification which is long-lasting yet flexible, may serve as a layer of information processing during brain development. General anesthesia is a cornerstone of modern medicine, but how general anesthesia drugs alter brain network dynamics to disrupt the waking state remains largely uncharted. My collaborators and I have taken a new empirical approach to this issue, combining multi-scale electrophysiology in humans with statistical signal processing and computer modeling of neural networks. I also use computational and theoretical techniques to create new tools for empirical studies of the brain, such as methods for super-resolution fluorescence microscopy and multi-cellular calcium imaging (see below for details and software).
Moving to UCSD!I'm thrilled to be joining the Cognitive Science faculty at the University of California, San Diego starting in July, 2014!Contact me at emukamel [at] salk [dot] edu.
