Jason Maclean is a Professor at the University of Chicago in the Department of Neurobiology. His research is centered around cortical circuit dynamics and the application of diverse analytical tools and network science methodologies. He aims to establish higher-order cellular synaptic mechanisms that propagate spikes and to improve encoding and decoding models of single-trial circuit activity in behaving mammals. His work also focuses on comparing sensory and motor areas within the neocortex. Maclean's research is supported by multiple NIH grants, where he serves as a Principal Investigator for projects investigating neuronal correlations and motor cortical reactivation related to motor skill acquisition in freely behaving marmosets. He holds a PhD in Neurophysiology from the University of Manitoba, demonstrating a strong foundation in the neuroscientific theory and computation guiding his research.
