Surrounded by electronic sensing equipment, Tom Yin, professor of neuroscience in the School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH), is pictured in his lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on Jan. 3, 2014. Yin directs a sound localization study involving electronic monitoring of a cat as the animal listens for an audible cue yielding a food reward. (Photos by Jeff Miller/UW-Madison).
A 13-year-old cat named Broc listens for an audible cue and seeks a food reward as the research subject participates in a sound localization study in Tom Yin’s lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on Jan. 3, 2014. Atop the animal’s head is a surgically implanted cap containing sensors, which Broc has had much of her adult life. Yin is a professor of neuroscience in the School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH). (Photos by Jeff Miller/UW-Madison).
