David Matthews


I'm a Ph.D. student studying systems and computational neuroscience at University of California, San Diego and the Salk Institute. I'm interested in how the brain works, and I study how the body transduces and the brain encodes somatosensory stimuli. I work with David Kleinfeld and friends, thanks to a fellowship from the National Science Foundation.
