hippocampal ripples research

2021 to 2022, neuroscience

before any of the apps, i was doing neuroscience research on rearing behavior and hippocampal ripples, the sharp-wave patterns the brain fires to consolidate memory. i worked with raw neural recordings and behavioral video, wrote the python to line them up, and dug for the relationship between the two.

Multi-channel local field potential traces around a behavioral event — local field potential traces across recording channels, aligned to a behavioral event (green line).

Neural signal with automatically detected rearing events marked as peaks — detecting rearing events in the signal automatically (orange markers).

it's where the habit started: sit with hard problems, work with real data, and stay honest about what it does and doesn't say. everything i've built since traces back to this.
