Research

My lab is currently engaged in three major research projects:

Eye-Hand Coordination (cortical mechanisms for visually guided arm movements)
3-D Gaze Control (neural mechanisms that rotate the eyes and head toward visual targets)
Trans-saccadic Integration (piecing together perceptions across different gaze fixations)

To study these topics, we use rigorous computational models, visual psychophysics and 3-D motion analysis, direct neurophysiological recordings of brain activity, high resolution brain imaging (fMRI, MEG), Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and clinical patient studies. I have found that the multi-disciplinary interplay between these approaches promotes an exciting, collaborative research environment. Moreover, this approach seems to be bringing us closer to our ultimate goal: to understand how the brain works.
