The Gardner Lab 

In 2019, the Gardner Lab relocated to the University of Oregon's Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact. Based in the Department of Bioengineering in Eugene, Oregon, the Gardner Lab explores the principles underlying learning and production of complex behaviors in biological neural networks.
