Biography
My undergraduate training was at St. Xavier's college, Mumbai and Bombay University where I obtained my Masters degree. My doctoral training was with Dr. Allen Humphrey in the Department of Neurobiology at the University of Pittsburgh where I examined the neural mechanisms involved in the processing of motion in the visual system. For my postdoctoral training I worked with Dr. Jeffrey Schall at Vanderbilt University studying the primate visuomotor system to more directly relate neural activity to psychological functions and behavior.
Research Interest
Brain mechanisms of motor control. Our research interests span the fields of visual perception, decision-making, and the generation of motor behavior and involve the application of cognitive/psychophysical,neuropsychological and electrophysiological techniques.
