Welcome to Nisan Ozana's Lab

Optical and Acoustical NeuroImaging

At the Ozana Lab, we develop cutting-edge acoustical and optical neuroimaging technologies to explore the brain’s neural circuitry and fundamental mechanisms. Our interdisciplinary research bridges electrical engineering and neuroscience, with applications in brain-computer interfaces, clinical neuroimaging, and neural diagnostics. We specialize in single-photon and superconductive sensing, high-speed FPGA system design, machine learning for neural signal analysis, and nanoelectronics for biomedical sensing. Our goal is to revolutionize how we understand, monitor, and interact with the brain.
