Projects
We seek to understand how the interplay between the central brain and the vast networks of neurons in the arms gives rise to intelligent behavior.
Control strategies for arm movement
By precisely measuring octopus arm movement we define the strategies that octopuses use to control these immensely flexible appendages.
Exploration and foraging
Using whole body markerless pose estimation we compare octopus foraging strategies to those of vertebrates.
Odor tracking
We have found that octopuses rival insects and mammals in their ability to follow odor plumes. How do they orient and navigate using these complex signals?
