Megha Ghosh
Postdoctoral Fellow
Computational Neuroscience
I am an electrical engineer turned neuroscientist. I love brain rhythms and enjoy making sense of the electrical activity of the brain. I want to understand the algorithms of the brain and use those coding schemes to debug pathological states.

Summary
  • Doctoral research question: How does the retrosplenial cortex encode information? As a graduate student at Omar Ahmed Lab , I analyze large datasets of in-vivo electrophysiological data recorded from rodents using silicon probes, neuropixels and tetrodes.
  • Technical Skills: I primarily use Python and MATLAB for my work. I have used C/C++ and Julia and coded microprocessors for courses as part of my BS and MS. That said, I believe programming launguages and simulation tools are just a means of solving a bigger problem. New problems will require new tools.
