Tim Gardner is a Professor of Biology at Boston University’s College of Arts & Sciences. Professor Gardner studies the mechanisms of temporal sequence perception and production, focusing on vocal learning in songbirds.

歌曲回路在从几毫秒到几十秒的时间尺度范围内产生固定的结构。Gardner asks how complex songs are assembled from elementary neural units. 在不同的时间尺度上,神经活动模式之间的关系是什么?Gardner also studies information processing in auditory cortex, examining how auditory signals are transformed as they move from low to high level sensory areas. 记忆时间模式是如何形成?

To address these questions, Gardner works to develop minimally invasive electrodes that provide stable neural recordings in behaving animals. Gardner还开发了听觉和神经时间序列的高分辨率信号处理算法。
