Faculty Research Description
The current focus of the research in my lab is to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the processing stream and representations that enable object & face recognition in humans. I am also interested in understanding how humans learn and remember categories and concepts and in developing computational models of visual perception.
