- I am a neurobiologist interested in goal-directed behavior. My laboratory is focused on the role of the prefrontal cortex in learning, executive control, and decision making. We use methods such as multi-electrode recordings, optogenetics, machine learning tools, and computational models in our research. We also develop and advocate for the use of open-source software and hardware in neuroscience research through the OpenBehavior project.

Additional Information
Laubach is a neurobiologist interested in how groups of neurons work together to process information. His research focuses on understanding the neuronal circuit basis of decision making, motivation, and self-control. He is especially interested in how decisions are adjusted when outcomes do not match expectations. Laubach's laboratory uses multi-electrode recordings, optogenetics, and computational methods to record brain cell activity and analyze the resulting data.聽
