Muneki Ikeda, PhD

Broad scientific interest: Uncovering the neural basis of consciousness using the nematode C. elegans.

Current project in the lab: Uncovering the neural basis of perception in the nematode C. elegans through high-throughput behavioral analysis and pan-neuronal activity recording.

Background: BS in molecular biology in motor proteins MS in structural neuroscience in rats PhD in genetic neuroscience in C. elegans

Muneki says: Please don't judge C. elegans as unconscious based on your common sense. Consciousness should be judged based on mathematical theory.
