About Us

The Benisty Lab is an interdisciplinary computational neuroscience lab that develops geometric frameworks to study high-dimensional, time-varying brain activity. We cast biological questions into mathematical formulations and develop advanced, interpretable methods for neural data analysis. Our work spans diverse recording modalities and spatiotemporal resolutions, including electrophysiology, calcium imaging (cellular or global), and fMRI, to characterize how neural representations, dynamics, and connectivity reorganize over time. We investigate how experience reshapes neural dynamics and how brain-wide organization shifts across a continuum of timescales, from minutes-long spatial cognition to learning-driven changes over days, to longer-lasting physiological transitions such as pregnancy, and to neurodegenerative conditions.
