Vinitha is a PhD candidate in the Cognitive Neuroscience area of the Psychology department at UC Berkeley. Her research combines intracranial electrophysiological measurements (ECoG and Stereo-EEG Recordings) with causal methodologies (Lesion studies & Intracranial Brain Stimulation) to study the neural basis of perception. In particular, her work identifies how face perception, visual adaptation and multistable perception are represented in the human brain. Specifically, Vinitha is interested in understanding how network dynamics support perceptual switching during binocular rivalry. In addition, Vinitha is studying how visual perception changes over development.
