OUR MISSION

TactileNeuro Lab was established to uncover the principles that govern the flexibility and stability of sensory coding in the nervous system, and to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). We pursue rigorous, innovative research to advance fundamental neuroscience and deepen our understanding of brain function in health and disease.

We are equally committed to training the next generation of scientists by fostering critical thinking, intellectual curiosity, and the confidence to pursue ambitious goals. As a collaborative lab, we actively share our knowledge, techniques, and resources to contribute to and grow with the broader scientific community.

Our tools

We use various functional imaging and molecular tools to study the nervous system
