Josh Siegle

Josh Siegle is a Senior Scientist at the Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics, leading the Electrophysiology group since 2014 after seven years in the MindScope Program studying the mouse visual system.

His educational background includes:

• Sc.B. in Neuroscience from Brown University
• Ph.D. in Neuroscience from MIT, where he investigated hippocampal circuits with Dr. Matthew Wilson and somatosensory processing with Dr. Christopher Moore

Dr. Siegle's research integrates electrophysiology, neural dynamics, and open-source tool development to decode brain function. His work spans mouse visual system mapping, hippocampal circuit analysis, and somatosensory processing, with a strong emphasis on community-driven neuroscience infrastructure through initiatives like Open Ephys.

His recent publications reveal trends in large-scale neurophysiological data acquisition across mouse brain regions, emphasizing functional hierarchies, multi-regional connectivity, and standardized data sharing frameworks that advance systems neuroscience.

Scientific awards: No awards mentioned in source material.

Advising and grants: Source text indicates no formal student advisement roles; research is driven by institutional programs rather than individual grants.

He directs the Electrophysiology group focused on developing open-source hardware/software for neural recording and advancing the Allen Brain Observatory's mission through collaborative data generation.
