For other carriers Ted Carnevale Psychology Dept. Yale University 2 Hillhouse Ave. My field of interest is computational neuroscience, with an emphasis on bridging the gap between experimentation and theory.
Neurons operate by the interaction of electrical and chemical signals.
I have focused on the spatiotemporal dynamics and functional consequences of these interactions, which are governed by mechanisms that span a wide range of temporal and spatial scales and are often highly nonlinear. Furthermore they are constrained by the complex architectures of neuronal networks, individual cells, and subcellular structures. T.H. Hebbian learning is jointly controlled by electrotonic and input structure. Creating and applying new approaches to the analysis and understanding of electrical signaling in real neurons. One example is the electrotonic transformation, an intuitive, empirically-based method for deriving insight to the functional consequences of neuronal anatomy and biophysical properties.
