specializes in the neural mechanisms of spatial orientation and navigation
using humans and non-human primates as a model. She is interested in neural
coding and how complex, cognitive behavior is produced by neuronal
populations. Dr. Angelaki has received numerous honors and awards, including
the inaugural Pradal Award in Neuroscience from the National Academy of
Sciences in 2012.
