Research

Our laboratory is concerned with the neural organization of central visual pathways in the brain. We are interested in how visual information is detected, encoded, and transmitted. We seek to determine the neural basis of specific aspects of visual performance. In addition to the consideration of normal visual organization, we are interested in development and plasticity of vision.
