OUR RESEARCH

Our lab focuses on understanding how neural processes in our brains result in visual perception, cognition and behaviour. We seek to understand how the visual system meets the challenges that the ever-changing dynamic 3D world confronts her with, and how vision influences many aspects of our behaviour even when we are not (fully) aware of it. We study these issues in lab-based and in less controlled environments (using both static and dynamic stimuli) in light of neuro-functional models we develop. 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 neurotypical individuals but also developmental cases and brain damaged patients from across different age groups.
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 and memory
-
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
