Jake Bernstein joined the lab as an undergraduate during the Fall of his senior year, earned an S.B. in Physics at MIT, and is currently working towards a PhD. He has developed optical fiber arrays for independent multisite neural modulation, and deployed optical stimulators for many experiments in the lab. He hopes to use his invention to parse the complex interactions of many brain regions which comprise the neural circuitry of an emotion such as fear.
