About
Da‐Ting Lin is a leading figure in the development of miniature, open-source tools for in vivo calcium imaging in freely behaving rodents. His primary research areas encompass neuroengineering, neural decoding, and the study of deep brain structures underlying behavior. Lin’s major contribution is the creation of an open-source automated surgical instrument for microendoscope implantation, a work that has garnered 21 citations and significantly lowered the barrier for labs to perform chronic imaging in deep regions like the nucleus accumbens. He has advanced neural decoding methods for calcium imaging data, notably developing a support vector machine-based system to handle imbalanced datasets, enabling more accurate interpretation of population neural activity. His detailed protocols for miniscope imaging in rats, including virus injection and GRIN lens implantation, provide a comprehensive roadmap for researchers. By democratizing access to sophisticated imaging techniques, Lin’s work empowers the neuroscience community to explore the neural mechanisms of reward, motivation, and learning with unprecedented precision.
