The goal of my research is to understand how the brain transforms sensory information into perception and action, by investigating how images from our two eyes are combined to create a 3-dimensional world. Our ability to see in depth arises in the cerebral cortex, where the similarity and differences in retinal images are compared and fused to create a single image.
My approaches include multimodal non-invasive brain imaging and precise measurements of perception in populations with normal and abnormal stereovision.
