Biography
Physiological mechanisms of visual perception and visually guided behavior;function of extrastriate visual cortex
Research Interest
Research in my laboratory focuses on the processing of motion information in dorsal extrastriate cortex. There are two main branches to the program, which can be roughly described as the "how" and the "why" of higher-level motion processing in cortex.
