Fabrizio Gabbiani

Dr. Fabrizio Gabbiani is advancing the conversation in the field of neuroscience with his pioneering research on the computational aspects of visual sensing and collision avoidance behavior in insects. As a faculty member at the Behavioral Plasticity Research Institute (BPRI) and a Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Gabbiani is dedicated to unraveling the complex neural mechanisms that underlie sensory processing and motor responses. His work primarily explores how insects process visual information to make rapid decisions that are crucial for survival, such as avoiding collisions. By employing a combination of experimental and computational approaches, Dr. Gabbiani's research provides insights into the fundamental principles of neural computation and sensory-motor integration. His findings not only enhance our understanding of insect behavior but also have broader implications for developing advanced technologies in robotics and artificial intelligence. Through his contributions, Dr. Gabbiani continues to push the boundaries of knowledge in neuroscience, inspiring both his peers and students alike.
