Lab News
OUR RESEARCH
Our lab focuses on understanding how neural processes in our brains result in visual perception and behaviour. We seek to understand how the visual system meets the challenges that the ever-changing dynamic 3D world confronts her with. Therefore we investigate how the visual system functions in lab-based and in less controlled environments (using both static and dynamic stimuli) in light of neuro-functional models we developed. We use fMRI to study brain activity, MRI to investigate brain structure, psychophysics coupled with eye tracking to evaluate how behavioural responses are related to brain measures, and computational approaches. We study healthy individuals but also developmental cases and brain damaged patients.
Specific research directions in our lab
-
Linking visual cortex organization to high and low visual functions
-
High level perception and action skills in lab and dynamic world settings
-
Face, place, object and form perception
-
How visual memory relates to visual perception
-
Motion perception including biological (people's) motion perception
-
Neuroimaging (MRI and fMRI) investigations of high-level visual processes
-
Normative vision, impaired vision (developmental or acquired)
-
Dependencies between different visual functions
