Holographic control of visual circuits

The aim of this research program is to produce novel all-optical technologies to explore brain functions at the mesoscopic scale with cellular resolution opening a new phase in optogenetics that I named circuit optogenetics. Revealing the neural codes supporting specific mammalian brain functions is a daunting task demanding to relate in vivo the individual activities of large numbers of neurons recorded jointly within collectives that form distinct nodes of a network and to perform precisely targeted and calibrated interventions in the spatiotemporal dynamics of neural circuits on the scale of naturalistic patterns of activity. Despite recent technical advances, these experiments remain…
