  • My research focuses on the use of a combination of neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, EEG, MEG), computational models (e.g. artificial vision models), psychophysics, and cognitive theory to investigate how visual information is processed in the brain and is expressed through behavior. Specifically, I investigate how experience and context interacts with visual perception by investigating the intersection of high-level vision, associative processing, and memory.
