Dr. Luke Prince is a postdoctoral fellow in the Learning in Neural Circuits lab spearheaded by Prof. Blake Richards, where he is building tools to analyse calcium imaging data using deep learning. His ultimate goal is to develop an experimental and theoretical framework for understanding memory formation in neural circuits.

As neuroscientists, we want to understand the rules for how brain cells work together and learn to understand how the world works. I am trying to come up with an algorithm that can extract these rules automatically from movies where we see brain cells flash when they are active.
