Attentional switching in larval zebrafish Open
Decision-making strategies in the face of conflicting or uncertain sensory input have been successfully described in many species. We analyze large behavioral datasets of larval zebrafish engaged in a “coherent dot” optomotor assay and fin…

Sleep Disruption Improves Performance in Simple Olfactory and Visual Decision-Making Tasks Open
Sleep disruption drastically impacts cognitive functions including decision-making and attention across many different species. In this study, we leveraged the small size and conserved vertebrate brain structure of larval zebrafish to inve…

Attentional Switching in Larval Zebrafish: The Attentive Leaky Integrator Open
Decision making strategies in the face of conflicting or uncertain sensory input have been successfully described by a drift diffusion to bound model (DDM) in many different species. Here we analyze large behavioral datasets of larval zebr…

Visual object detection biases escape trajectories following acoustic startle in larval zebrafish Open
In this study, we investigated whether the larval zebrafish is sensitive to the presence of obstacles in its environment. Zebrafish execute fast escape swims when in danger of predation. We posited that collisions with solid objects during…

Covert attention to obstacles biases zebrafish escape direction Open
To study the evolutionary origins of object perception, we investigated whether a primitive vertebrate, the larval zebrafish, is sensitive to the presence of obstacles. The zebrafish, which has become a useful model to study brain-wide cir…
