Projects

Understanding speech processing using EEG

Project Lead:
Description:

For Summer and Fall 2022, the Hamilton Lab at UT Austin is looking to work with a limited number of undergraduate volunteers who are interested in speech…

Medical Image Processing for Stroke

Project Lead:
Description:

Men and women experience stroke differently. There is currently a knowledge gap in how to best select patients for ischemic stroke treatment while not withholding treatment to those who could still benefit. Filling…

Interneurons differentially regulate discrete pathways from ventral hippocampus

Project Lead:
Description:

Hippocampal microcircuits are comprised of excitatory pyramidal cells, which integrate information and innervate downstream brain regions, and inhibitory interneurons, which function locally to regulate pyramidal…

Neural and Molecular Basis of Social Cognition

Project Lead:
Description:

Individuals integrate information about their social and physical environment into adaptive behavioral responses, yet how the presence of different social partners and different sensory modalities contribute to these…

Evolutionary variation in genes, brains and behaviors

Project Lead:
Description:

The Phelps lab is broadly interested in animal social behavior, its brain mechanisms, and how those mechanisms evolve. We do a variety of work ranging from mechanisms of gene regulation to the fitness consequences of…

Evolution of a Social Decision-Making Network

Project Lead:
Description:

We have reconstructed the evolution of a neural social decision-making network across vertebrates and found that gene expression profiles in these behaviorally relevant brain regions are remarkably conserved. Our…

Lawrence K Cormack

Affiliated Departments:
College of Liberal Arts, Psychology
Research Interests:

My research interests have evolved over the years from studying stereoscopic vision, to natural scene statistics related to binocular vision, to the processing of motion through depth (i.e. 3D motion). This last…

Andrew David Gaudet

Affiliated Departments:
College of Liberal Arts, Psychology, Dell Medical School, Dell Medical School
Research Interests:

The Gaudet lab aims to reveal links between molecular, cellular, and behavioral changes elicited during neuropathology. We have several research interests: 1. Neuroinflammation. Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes…

Mackenzie A Howard

Affiliated Departments:
Neuroscience, Neurology
Research Interests:

The overall goal of my research is to discover the causative cellular and neural circuit changes linking neurological disease mutations with cognitive deficits. Genetic epilepsies give rise to seizures, and often…
