Introducing...
Today, we’re launching the website for P[λ]ab, the Pearson Lab at Duke University. The plan is to use this blog for lab news, ongoing projects, and things we just think are cool.
A few words about us: As a lab, we focus on designing next-generation analysis methods for neuroscience data. Much of our work attempts to deal with large datasets, while other efforts focus on projects with clinical application. You can read more about our vision, our team, and our research on the site.
A few words about our name: Our work brings together neuroscience, computation, and statistics, and so our logo merges several elements symbolizing these ingredients:
- three connected nerve cells, the simplest possible “neural network”
- λ, the symbol for computation
- P[·], the notation for the probability of an event
Thanks for visiting. We’ll be hoping to update this space regularly, so check back for project updates, new results, and more.
