Specifically, Chand\u2019s current research (recently published at Nature Communications) and future research agenda is focused on elucidating the single-trial circuit dynamics in prefrontal and parietal regions of the primate brain mediating goal-directed behavior. His research training in Prof. Shenoy\u2019s lab has provided him insights into how systems neuroscience can be used for clinically relevant brain-computer interfaces. Chand\u2019s research delineating how goal-directed behavior arises in prefrontal cortical circuits on single trials when combined with modern perturbation techniques (such as electrical stimulation, optical stimulation and pharmacology) may facilitate circuit level therapeutics and the design of the next generation of brain computer interfaces for mental health and neurological disorders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lab:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/chandlab\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"standard\"><span>Neural Dynamics of Cognition lab (Chand Lab)<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>CV:<\/strong><span>&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"\/anatneuro\/files\/2018\/11\/CV_CHAND_11.13.18.pdf\">Chandramouli Chandrasekaran, Ph.D. \u2014 CV<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4\">\n<div class=\"block-pad\">\n<div class=\"block\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">RESEARCH:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">electrophysiology, modeling, basis of goal-directed behavior<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">OFFICE:<\/p>\n<p>W-7<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">EMAIL:<\/p>\n<p>cchandr1@bu.edu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/anatneuro\/faculty\/\" class=\"btn\" style=\"width: 60vw;\"><br \/>\n  <span class=\"gradient-btn\">Faculty<\/span><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<p>article.post-12325 {\n   display: none;\n}<\/p>\n<p>\/* ----------------Blocks---------------- *\/<\/p>\n<p>.block {\n    background-color: #ffffff;\n    padding: 15px;\n    margin: auto;\n    height: 350px;\n    width: 300px;\n    border-radius: 3px;\n    align-items: center;\n    z-index: 2;\n    box-shadow: -50px 0 100px -50px #808080, 50px 0 100px -50px #808080;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.block-pad {\n    margin-top: 20px;\n    margin-bottom: 20px;\n}<\/p>\n<p>@media only screen and (min-width: 760px) {\n\t.block {\n\t\twidth: 300px;\n             height: 350px;\n\t}\n}<\/p>\n<p>.block h1 {\n    padding-bottom: 5px;\n    font-size: 24px;\n    text-align: center;\n}<\/p>\n<p>\/* ----------------Profile---------------- *\/<\/p>\n<p>.side-info {\n    background-color: #ffffff;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.universal-pad {\n    margin: 25px;\n    margin-left: 10vw;\n    margin-right: 10vw;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.firstinfo{\n  display: flex;\n  justify-content: center;\n  align-items: center;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.content1 {\n  position: relative;\n  animation: animatop 0.9s cubic-bezier(0.425, 1.14, 0.47, 1.125) forwards;\n  margin-left: 12vw;\n  margin-top: 10px;\n  margin-bottom: 10px;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.card {\n  width: 70vw;\n  min-height: 100px;\n  padding: 20px;\n  border-radius: 3px;\n  background-color: white;\n  box-shadow: 0px 10px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);\n  position: relative;\n  overflow: hidden;\n}\n.card:after {<\/p>\n<p>}<\/p>\n<p>.firstinfo {\n  flex-direction: row;\n  z-index: 2;\n  position: relative;\n}\n.firstinfo img {\n  display: none;\n}\n.firstinfo .profileinfo {\n  padding: 0px 20px;\n}\n.firstinfo .profileinfo h1 {\n  font-size: 35px;\n}\n.firstinfo .profileinfo h3 {\n  font-size: 20px;\n  color: #262262;\n  font-style: italic;\n}\n.firstinfo .profileinfo p.bio {\n  padding: 10px 0px;\n  color: #5A5A5A;\n  line-height: 1.2;\n  font-style: initial;\n}<\/p>\n<p>@keyframes animatop {\n  0% {\n    opacity: 0;\n    bottom: -500px;\n  }\n  100% {\n    opacity: 1;\n    bottom: 0px;\n  }\n}\n@keyframes animainfos {\n  0% {\n    bottom: 10px;\n  }\n  100% {\n    bottom: -42px;\n  }\n}\n@keyframes rotatemagic {\n  0% {\n    opacity: 0;\n    transform: rotate(0deg);\n    top: -24px;\n    left: -253px;\n  }\n  100% {\n    transform: rotate(-30deg);\n    top: -24px;\n    left: -78px;\n  }\n}<\/p>\n<p>@media only screen and (min-width: 900px) {\n.card:after {\n  content: \"\";\n  display: block;\n  width: 190px;\n  height: 300px;\n  background: #262262;\n  position: absolute;\n  animation: rotatemagic 0.75s cubic-bezier(0.425, 1.04, 0.47, 1.105) 1s both;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.firstinfo img {\n  border-radius: 50%;\n  width: 120px;\n  height: 120px;\ndisplay: block;\n}<\/p>\n<p>}\n\/* ----------------Animated Button---------------- *\/<\/p>\n<p>.gradient-btn {\n  \/* Fallback: Set a background color. *\/\n  background-color: #262262;<\/p>\n<p>  \/* Create the gradient. *\/\n  background-image: linear-gradient(\n    45deg,\n    #ffffff 50%,\n    #262262 50%\n  );<\/p>\n<p>  \/* Set the background size and repeat properties. *\/\n  background-size: 270%;\n  background-repeat: repeat;\n  background-position: top right;<\/p>\n<p>  \/* Use the text as a mask for the background. *\/\n  \/* This will show the gradient as a text color rather than element bg. *\/\n  -webkit-background-clip: text;\n  -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
