Post-doctoral Researcher

The Marder Lab

morozova.e.o@gmail.com

Hi! I am a computational neuroscientist at Wispr AI, working on building wearable nerual interfaces.

Previously as a postdoc at Marder lab at Brandeis University, I was studying the emergence of circuit dynamics from intrinsic and synaptic properties of neurons. I used a combination of electrophysiological and computational/analytical techniques to build a real-time interface between a computer and biological neurons.

In my free time I like making neuroscience inspired art. Check out my illustrations!
