Aitor Morales-Gregorio

Hello everyone! I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Charles University (NEAM) in Prague (previously at Forschungszentrum Juelich) studying the activity and structure of the cerebral cortex. I focus in the study of extracellular electrophysiological activity and quantitative analysis of neuroanatomy, mostly for the macaque monkey. My work bridges the gap between experimental and theoretical results by combining both data analysis and mathematical modeling. I am a strong supporter of open code and data, for maximum reproducibility and transparency in science. I never miss the chance to create colorful visualizations to make sense of my results and data.
