Daniel K. Wójcik Laboratory head Ph.D. 2000, D.Sc. 2008, Prof. 2015
Mark J. Hunt Assistant professor My research interests are psychopharmacology and in vivo electrophysiology. Specifically, I am developing projects directed towards understanding the mechanisms and behavioural consequences of abnormal high frequency oscillations, after ketamine, in freely moving rats. Further details of my research can be found here.
Piotr Majka Assistant professor My research interests focus on processing and combining image data obtained from various imaging techniques across different spatial scales. This includes magnetic resonance imaging, photographies of stained sections, connectivity data etc. I am also interested in creating and distributing digital brain atlases.

Marta Bejtka Phd student Applied Physics, M.Sc. 2015 email: m.kowalska@nencki.gov.pl I am interested in current sources density reconstruction in brain tissue. I test kCSD method with simulated data.
Michał Czerwiński Phd student M.Sc. in Neuroinformatics email: m.czerwinski.gov.pl After studying neuroinformatics at Physics Department of Warsaw University, I moved from EEG analysis (B.Sc. thesis on neurofeedback) to LFP analysis at Nencki Institute.
Jakub M. Dzik (Kowalski) Postdoc; M.Sc. 2011, PhD. 2019 email: j.kowalski@nencki.gov.pl My background is computer science combined with basics of biology. As a part of my studies I analyse and model behavioral data of mice obtained from IntelliCage system. I also develop a software for online repositories of high-resolution brain tissue images of different modalities.
