The Potter Group works in Atlanta, GA, where I am an Associate Professor and Director of the Laboratory for NeuroEngineering. This is a collective research unit within the Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering shared between Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology. My lab is at Georgia Tech. I also am Program Faculty for Emory University's Neuroscience Graduate Program. If you are interested in joining my lab, check out the "How do I join?" link under the Neurolab logo. I am a council member for the Atlanta Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience. I can advise grad students in the Biomedical Engineering ("Joint BME") PhD program, the Bioengineering (BioE) PhD program, and the Emory Neuroscience PhD and MD/PhD programs.
Here is my own Curriculum Vitae in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PotterCV.pdf)
To see Google Scholar's most current list of my papers, including how many times they have been cited, click here. For a complete list of papers and abstracts, see our Publications page or Academia.edu, which has a nice interface for browsing abstracts.
At Caltech, I worked jointly in the labs of Scott Fraser and Jerry Pine. Jerry is a professor of Biophysics. Scott is the head of the Caltech Biological Imaging Center. In 1994, we put together one of the first 2-Photon laser-scanning microscopes. This is a relatively new (~1990) type of optical microscope that allows viewing of living specimens for longer periods with less photobleaching and less phototoxicity than with other fluorescence microscopes.

I don't waste time with Facebook, Linkedin or other social networking sites, so don't bother trying to "friend" me. I prefer higher bandwidth interactions in person, or by phone. Schedule those by email or catch me at a conference.
I am interested in many fields related to brains and thinking, such as
(Under construction indefinitely...)
For two years, I led a reading group on books about the mind, at Pasadena's premier independent bookstore, Vroman's (http://www.vromansbookstore.com/).
With Google Scholar, finding obscure papers is much easier these days.
When I used to have spare time, I dabbled in a variety of activities, including bicycling, hang gliding, racquetball, hiking, reading, thinking about thinking, collecting rocks and other heavy objects, remote-control sailplane flying, photography, fixing and building things, creating unusual art, and body-surfing. Ah, to be a postdoc again!
Now I vicariously enjoy my wife's creative endeavors. Check out her hand-made greeting cards!
