<span style="font-kerning: none; background-color: #ffffff" class="">Neuropixels recordings will be integrated with other techniques being used in the lab such as two-photon microscopy, two-photon optogenetics, and behavioral paradigms in virtual reality. Opportunities
exist for collaborations with colleagues in computational neuroscience, engineering, computer science and other fields. UCL is based in central London, with the highest concentration of neuroscience research in the world.</span></div>
