Neuroscience & Behavior

Contact

Prof. Luca Iemi joined the Department of Neuroscience and Behavior at Barnard College in 2022 as a term assistant professor. His expertise is in the fields of cognitive neuroscience, electrophysiology, and perceptual decision-making. His research seeks to understand how perception and behavior are influenced by spontaneous brain activity, with a particular focus on neural oscillations.
