Teaching Experience

• 2012 – 2016. I was an invited guest lecturer for the RIKEN Brain Science Training Program. I delivered courses on basal ganglia physiology in health and disease, with a focus on Parkinson’s disease, Tourette syndrome, and deep brain stimulation.

Commercial Activity

• SYNAPTEK Deep learning Solutions was created and registered in Japan as a limited liability company, specializing in the use of advanced techniques and analysis for neuroscientific applications in June of 2017.
• The core business model is based on our Vulcan AI Deep Learning System, an advanced proprietary machine learning monitoring system, capable of qualitatively identifying different behaviors in freely moving animals while integrating that information with real-time acquisition of neural activity.
• The system can also be used for advanced data analysis to probe complex systems for hidden causal interactions.
