Rober Boshra is a C.V. Starr fellow at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, Princeton University. His work targets the understanding of the spatiotemporal dynamics (neural population spiking, local oscillations, and cross-areal communication) within and between thalamic and cortical nodes that underlie the modulation and control of spatial attention. To probe this, he utilizes dense intracranial recordings from cortical and subcortical areas in combination with causal manipulations such as electric microstimulation.
