I am interested in understanding how neuronal networks process sensory information, and combine them with internal knowledge and experiences to form a perception of the sensory events, and how such processes may guide decision and action. To this aim the activity of a large population of neurons are recorded during a behavioral test using wide-field imaging and electrophysiology, while the pharmacological and optogenetic methods are used for manipulation of activity.

The effect of serotonin on the visual processing; how it controls the gain of the external sensory input and internally driven information; their interaction under anesthetized and awake states.
