Every moment, streams of photons strike our retinas and are converted into neural signals that give rise to vivid visual experiences, filled with shapes, colors, motion, and meaning. But how does the brain transform these raw signals into coherent perceptions of the world around us?
In our lab, we use computational modeling and noninvasive functional imaging (fMRI) to explore the neural computations that support human visual perception. By studying how the brain encodes and organizes visual information, we aim to uncover the principles that underlie our ability to see and understand the world.
