Active visual perception
How spatial attention and saccadic eye movements reshape information flow through the layered circuits of visual cortex.
Laminar recordings in visual cortex.
Neural mechanisms of attention, perception and social cognition
Not everything we see matters for what we do next. Attention and eye movements let us pick out what is relevant and ignore distractors. We study how neurons in different layers of the neocortex make that selection possible.
Our tools include high-density laminar electrophysiology, optogenetics, optical imaging, psychophysics and computational modeling.
