What makes a brain ready to perform well at a particular moment? David McCormick investigates how animals gather sensory information, make decisions, and translate those decisions into action. His lab measures electrical brain activity and pupil size to examine how arousal relates to performance, and studies the circuits supporting efficient cortical responses. The research connects neural signaling with behavior and attention. The official lab page currently states that the group is not accepting new graduate students, a useful distinction when exploring possible advisors.
