Research Interests:
Research in our group is centered on investigating the neural basis
of human vision, visual attention, and visual awareness. Current
research projects include the spatial and temporal properties of
the early visual cortex, the effect of attentional modulation at
different cortical sites, the nature and dynamics of binocular rivalry,
pattern and motion adaptation processes. Both psychophysical and
functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging methods are used in these
studies.
