Clara Starkweather is a current senior at Duke University. Her primary interest is in neurobiology. She is taking EGR103L so she can learn how to use Matlab, which is the primary computing method used in neurobiology research. More on my interests below!

Clara's Interests

Neurobiology

I am interested in learning about how the brain uses sensory information to instruct behaviors. Towards this general goal, I conduct research in the Duke Department of Neurobiology in the School of Medicine. The lab in which I work uses songbirds as a model organism to study learning and memory.

Piano

I have been playing piano for most of my life. Piano is the best instrument because one can self-harmonize in a capacity far greater than with any other instrument.
