Christopher I Moore

Christopher I Moore serves as Associate Director of the Carney Institute of Brain Science and Professor of Neuroscience and Professor of Brain Science at Brown University, focusing on the relationship between neocortical dynamics and perception through experimental and computational approaches.

Education:

• 1998: PhD, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
• 1990: BA, Oberlin College

Research Interests: Dr. Moore's laboratory investigates neocortical dynamics occurring on millisecond to second timescales to determine their computational significance for sensory perception. His work examines the origins and functional roles of neural oscillations while pioneering research into neurovascular coupling—how blood flow systems contribute to information processing. Using integrated methodologies including optogenetics, electrophysiology, and neural imaging, his research bridges systems neuroscience and cognitive theory with strong engineering applications.

Awards: No scientific awards were documented in the provided source material.

Advising and Grants: While teaching responsibilities are confirmed, specific student advisement details and grant funding information were not disclosed in the available text.

Laboratory: Dr. Moore leads an active research laboratory within the Carney Institute for Brain Science that combines experimental neuroscience with theoretical modeling to decode cortical information processing mechanisms.
