Tirin Moore
PROFESSOR
NEUROBIOLOGY
Canary Center at Stanford
United States of America
Biography
He is a Professor of Neurobiology and member of Bio-X, Child Health Research Institute. He got CAREER award from National Science Foundation (2006-2011), McKnight Scholar Award from McKnight Endowment Fund (2006-2009),Troland Award from National Academy of Sciences (2009).He has done Ph.D. from Princeton in Neuroscience (1995),Postdoc in M.I.T. from Neuroscience. He study the activity of single neurons in visual and motor structures within the brain, examine how perturbing that activity affects neurons in other brain structures, and also how it affects the perceptual and motor performance of behaving animals.
Research Interest
How are the signals conveyed by visual cortical neurons used to guide eye movements? ,How does oculomotor feedback affect processing in visual cortex?, What is the impact of planned movements on visual perception?
