81. Tools for Looking Into the Brain: Squiggly Lines, An Insight into Learning & Memory (with Dr. Sam Cooke)
In today's episode, we are joined by Dr. Sam Cooke, a group leader and senior lecturer at King's College London who researches the mechanisms that underlie learning and memory in the brain. We discuss his research journey that led him to become fascinated in the processes of learning and memory, as well as the tools he uses to record neural activity- in vivo electrophysiology- and what those squiggly lines really mean. This episode is part of our series "Tools for Looking into the Brain" which is supported by Scientifica, a leading producer of electrophysiology and imaging equipment. In this series we explore research techniques used in neuroscience, including classical and state-of-the-art techniques.
