Daniel Aharoni is assistant professor of neurology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He received his Ph.D. in physics from UCLA, where he worked in high- and low-energy particle physics before shifting his focus to neurophysics. Aharoni stayed at UCLA for a postdoctoral fellowship under Baljit Khakh, Alcino Silva and Peyman Golshani, spearheading the technical development of the open-source UCLA Miniscope Project. Aharoni’s lab integrates engineering, neuroscience and physics to create innovative tools that address complex challenges in neuroscience. His research aims to enhance our understanding of neural circuits, advance tool design for neuroscience, and ensure equitable access to pioneering technologies.

Tatiana Engel explains how to connect high-dimensional neural circuitry with low-dimensional cognitive functions
Neuroscientists have long sought to understand the relationship between structure and function in the vast connectivity and activity patterns in the brain. Engel discusses her modeling approach to discovering the hidden patterns that connect the two.

Beyond the algorithmic oracle: Rethinking machine learning in behavioral neuroscience
Machine learning should not be a replacement for human judgment but rather help us embrace the various assumptions and interpretations that shape behavioral research.
