<div>T<span style="font-size:10pt">his project will develop computational techniques to accurately infer wiring between neurons from the next generation of imaging techniques that directly record neuron voltages. The project will combine development of algorithms,
simulations of neural circuits as test-beds, and analysis of real imaging data from neural populations. </span>
