Research Interests
My research interest is the relationship between the architecture of the human visual system and the functions of attention, perception and awareness, both in normal and clinical populations. I have been primarily studying the visual subcortex—the lateral geniculate nucleus and pulvinar in the thalamus and the superior colliculus—with retinotopic mapping, spatial and feature-based attention and binocular rivalry experiments. Multiple streams of information arise from distinct ganglion cell populations in the retina; the subcortical nuclei play central roles in the recurrent regulation of visual function, and here, like nowhere else in the brain, these visual streams are spatially disjoint and their activity can be measured with high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging. Abnormalities in these structures may be important in clinical disorders such as dyslexia and congenital stationary night blindness that I am studying.
