Quick Bio
My research focuses on the cognitive and neural mechanisms of human visual perception, how the visual mind and brain works to give us a meaningful and efficient way of processing the environment around us. For this end, I investigate processing simple visual stimuli, objects, ensembles, and scenes and use methods such as psychophysics, attention tasks, and fMRI. My most recent interests are the visual brain mechanisms with a specific interest in the role of early visual areas like lateral geniculate nucleus and primary visual cortex in perceiving the visual information.
