Direct experience analyzing raw data in at least two modalities: electrophysiology (patch-clamp, MEA, Neuropixels), optical imaging, EEG/sEEG, neuroimaging, single-cell or spatial omics, neuropathology, or quantitative behavior. AI agents today struggle to interrogate raw evidence across molecular, cellular, circuit, tissue, and behavioral levels, separate real effects from artifacts and confounds, and reach conclusions and R&D decisions an expert would stand behind.
