Daniel Zurek

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Morehouse lab at the University of Pittsburgh. My research explores the relationship of the visual sense with behavior, ecology, and evolution. This often involves comparative investigations of sensory physiology and locomotory behavior, taking into account all stages from the natural sensory “Umwelt” to optical and neuronal data acquisition and processing. To this end, I mainly employ electrophysiological and psychophysical methods, as well as 'unrestrained' behavioral experiments coupled with high speed video analysis.
