Alexander Mathis, PhD | Assistant Professor
My work strives to understand how the brain creates complex behavior. To achieve that goal, in part, I develop tools for accurate measurement of behavior and make sure that they are broadly accessible for the community. Secondly, I make models and theories to elucidate how the brain gives rise to adaptive behaviors with a specific focus on motor control and sensorimotor learning.
