Tong Lab : Perception and Neuroscience
Our lab relies on functional brain imaging (fMRI), neural decoding methods, and psychophysical techniques to study the human neural bases of visual perception, attentional selection, face and object recognition, visual consciousness, imagery and memory. The goal of this research program is to understand how basic visual features and complex objects are actively represented by the human brain to support conscious perception, cognition, and flexible adaptive behavior.
