Developing a miniature visual stimulation system for mice

Description 
This project develops a visual stimulation system for mice for neuroscience experiments. The project develops a custom experimental system composed of a display which will be updated based on the mouse's behavior such as its movement on a linear treadmill. This system will be eventually paired with advanced neuro-recording systems such as high-density electrophysiology, widefield imaging and two-photon microscopy, to explore brain dynamics during visual stimulation. This may be suited for you if you have experience or a strong interest in data acquisition (DAQ) systems, closed-loop experimental setups, programing in MATLAB and Python.
