Biography

Cory Miller is a Professor at the University of California, San Diego, focusing on the cortical basis of behavior. His primary research interest is in understanding sensory-motor processes that play a crucial role in species-typical natural behaviors. His current work investigates aspects of sensory recognition and categorization, as well as the interactions between sensory and motor systems in decision-making processes. Miller's research integrates various methodologies, including behavioral studies that encompass both field and laboratory experiments, along with advanced neural techniques such as single-unit neurophysiology. He emphasizes studying behaviors that are typical for species, using a range of experimental techniques that bridge behavioral and neural systems levels.
