Welcome to my home page. My name is Bruce Carlson and I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Washington University in St. Louis. My research and teaching interests include behavioral and systems neuroscience, neuroethology, animal communication, sensory biology, evolutionary and comparative neurobiology, and computational neuroscience. My research subjects are the weakly electric fish from Africa and South America, excellent model systems for studying a wide range of topics in these areas.
