Title: Cortical circuits mediating vision in the mouse.

Dr. Olsen joined the Allen Institute in 2013 as an assistant investigator in the neural coding group. He is leading a team of scientists to investigate the cortical circuit mechanisms underlying visual behavior and cognition in the mouse.He is overseeing further development of this paradigm at the Allen Institute in order to probe the neural circuits mediating visual perception, selective attention, object recognition and decision-making.
