Appointment of Dr Lindsey Salay at EPFL

Lindsey Salay's research in the field of systemic neuroscience investigates how the brain transforms sensory experiences into internal states that control adaptive behaviour. She also studies how neural circuits integrate internal drives with social and sensory signals to trigger innate behaviours. Her work has resulted in important findings about the neural mechanisms that link perception, emotion, motivation and action. With her multidisciplinary and quantitative research approach, she is an ideal complement to EPFL’s neuroscience programme and its existing research groups.
