Welcome to the Barry Lab! Below you can find a brief introduction of all lab members and their contact details – feel free to get in touch over email or twitter! Scroll down to see pictures from our out-of-lab adventures. Overall lab contact details can be found here.
Principal Investigator
Ex-electrophysiologist, discovering the computations embedded in the brain (and answering emails).
Postdoc
My current research involves conducting electrophysiological recordings from high density probes chronically implanted in freely moving mice. I’m interested in the neuronal computations underlying spatial exploration and navigation.
PhD Student
Using two-photon imaging to investigate how hippocampal representations form and change with time and experience.
PhD Student
Using neuroscience as inspiration for solving problems in reinforcement learning like exploration and poor sample efficiency. Also do geometric deep learning.
PhD Student
Training mice and RL agents to navigate through virtual space to gain understanding of how visual and spatial is integrated and used in hippocampus and visual cortex. Using VR and Neuropixel probes.
PhD Student
Final year PhD using computational analysis to study neural network topology and topography. Enjoys the philosophical debates around neural representations.
PhD Student
Ex-physicist, turned neuroscientist. I build models of hippocampus and entorhinal cortex to study representation learning and the curious role of oscillations.
PhD Student
Working across neuroscience and machine learning, my research aims to elucidate how we develop an understanding of space and dimensionality. Using both neural data and VR simulations, I aim to establish a computational framework that explains the patterns and idiosyncrasies of our spatial and social processing.
PhD student
Researching artificial neural networks to model spatial neurons. Exploiting these models to explain the maturation of such neurons, e.g. the relative order in which they develop and their relationship to the emergence of navigation. Working in collaboration with Prof. Thomas Wills.
