Visual Perception and Neuroimaging Lab

We live in a dynamic visual environment in which we must quickly and accurately interpret the events around us. How do we do it?

Our visual system relies strongly on a number of heuristics, combined with more complex computation and filtering to construct the unified perceptual world that we experience every day.

The VPNL uses a combination of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), concurrent TMS and electroencephalography (EEG), and psychophysical techniques to isolate the neural correlates of visual perception.
