Neuroscientists Talk Shop

On February 25, 2021, University of Texas San Antonio neuroscientists sat down with Dr. Lara Hwa for an episode of Neuroscientists Talk Shop.  Charles J. Wilson, Matt Wanat, and Salma Quraishi chatted with her about the intersection of stress and alcohol consumption in rodent models of voluntary alcohol binging.

Dr. Hwa is Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology & Neuroscience at Baylor University in Waco.

On  February  10, 2022 we welcomed Dan Butts, to talk about studying sensory system function by statistical modeling of neuron populations in the awake state during natural or near-natural sensory stimulation. We  discuss the use of machine learning tools for data analysis and the  interaction between theories of natural perception and of deep neural  networks

Dr. Butts is Associate Professor in the Department of Biology, University of Maryland College Park.
