Our research utilizes multimodal imaging (fMRI, dMRI, qMRI), computational modeling, and behavioral measurements to investigate human visual cortex. We seek to understand how underlying neural mechanisms and their anatomical implementation enable rapid and efficient visual perception and cognition. Critically, we examine how the brain and visual perception change across development to understand how the interplay between anatomical constraints and viewing experience shapes the visual cortex and, ultimately, behavior.

Kalanit shared her perspective on a recent Cedars-Sinai study examining the brain's response to seen and imagined objects.
Kevin Weiner, an alumnus of the lab, explains how Pokémon has helped us understand the organization of the visual cortex.
Congratulations to both Elizabeth Im and Keithan Ducre for being awarded the National Eye Institute Early Career Scientist Travel Grant for this year's upcoming Vision Sciences Society conference in St. Pete's Beach, Florida.

Baby Brains Study

We are recruiting 4 to 6-month-old infants to investigate how the brain develops its visual functions during infancy.

Kids Study

Our lab is actively recruiting children between the ages of 4 and 6 to participate in our study on how children's vision and brain structure change as they begin school.
