معرفی
Manu Madhav is Assistant Professor at the School of Biomedical Engineering, University of British Columbia, and Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Neural Circuits of Cognition and Control. His research investigates neural circuit mechanisms underlying spatial navigation and memory through rodent electrophysiology and human virtual reality experiments.
Research focuses on neural computation of spatial representations, virtual reality paradigms for behavior analysis, neural manifold geometry, and translational applications for Alzheimer's detection. The lab develops novel experimental systems including the Dome VR apparatus for freely locomoting rodents and non-invasive field tracking methods.
Recent publications examine path integration recalibration, neural coding strategies, and geometric representations in hippocampal circuits. Field research advances include techniques for tracking electric fish in natural habitats.
- Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Neural Circuits of Cognition and Control
Leads the Neural Circuits of Cognition and Control Laboratory developing neuroengineering approaches to map cognition. Research combines electrophysiology, virtual reality, computational modeling, and field biology to understand neural algorithms.
