Postdoctoral research associate
Carnegie Mellon University Neuroscience Institute

Noga Larry is a postdoctoral research associate at the Carnegie Mellon University Neuroscience Institute, where she works with Matthew T. Smith, Steven Chase, Byron M. Yu, and Aaron P. Batista. She received her Ph.D. in neuroscience from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem under the supervision of Mati Joshua.

Her research combines systems neuroscience, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), and computational methods to study communication across brain regions. She develops and applies real-time neural feedback to investigate the dynamics of neural population activity and inter-area communication to uncover the mechanisms underlying coordinated brain function.
