Nand Chandravadia is a research associate in the Department of Neurosurgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in the laboratory of Dr. Ueli Rutishauser. He received his BS in Neuroscience from the University of California, Los Angeles. During his undergraduate studies, he developed a keen interest in computational neuroscience, and worked in the Neurosurgical Brain Mapping and Restoration Laboratory lead by Dr. Nader Pouratian. After graduation, he began investigating the neural mechanisms of learning, memory and decision-making at level of single neurons and networks thereof under the guidance of Dr. Ueli Rutishauser. The Rutishauser laboratory uses a combination of in-vivo, single-unit electrophysiology in humans, intracranial electrocorticography, eye tracking, electrical stimulation, behavior and computational, and theoretical approaches, and has helped pioneer the technique of human single-neuron recordings and continues to advance the tools, methods and surgical techniques that allow such experiments.
