Andrea Gaede is a Lecturer (Asst. Professor) at the Royal Veterinary College in London, England, and a AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow Alumna.
Andrea's research has focused on systems neuroscience and sensorimotor control, with the goal of understanding how visual motion processing is encoded in the brain. Studying these pathways in birds has the potential to inform algorithms used in neuroprosthetics and autonomous vehicles. Outside of the lab, she is interested in ethical and legal questions raised by neuroscience research, novel biotechnologies, and brain-computer interfaces; in particular, how these technologies are evaluated in different legal forums.
