My research interests are focused on understanding of the brain function in birds and mamals. In particular, I am interested in studying of navigation and memory processes, related to it. I investigate brain activity in freely moving animals, both in naturalistic and lab settings in order to elucidate electro-physiological correlates of different complex behavioral processes - orientation, decision making, inter-subject interactions.
