He is Director of the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre and a Professor in Neuroscience at University College London (UCL).

[3][4][5] His research has potential implications for psychiatric disorders such as autism and schizophrenia[6] and future applications in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).

[22] Mrsic-Flogel’s current lab studies how the brain makes decisions by combining sensory information with previously learned knowledge.

[23] Research from the Mrsic-Flogel lab has revealed how visual working memory in mice is maintained across interconnected brain regions.

[25][26] More recently, the Mrsic-Flogel lab investigated how individual neurons in mice are influenced by two different cognitive and behavioural states – attention and running – that were once thought to share a common mechanism.
