Research

My research uses functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), quantitative MRI,
diffusion weighted imaging, ECoG, behavioral, as well as computational methods
to study the neural basis of visual perception and categorization, with the
ultimate goal of linking brain activations to human perception.

My research focuses on understanding:
(1) the cortical representations & computations that subserve visual recognition,
(2) the role of microanatomical & connectivity in shaping cortical functional organization
(3) how visual function and architecture change across development
(4) how people learn to recognize the 3D structure of objects from 2D images
(5) if and how the brain reorganizes following resection.
