PERCEPTION | SYSTEMS NEUROSCIENCE

How does the brain translate ambiguous sensory information into coherent percepts? Our current research projects seek to unravel the intricacies of the human visual system through a combination of behavioural, neuroimaging (fMRI, DTI, MEG), brain stimulation (TMS), and eye-movement recording approaches.

Interests

Visual perception
Binocular vision (stereopsis, eye imbalances)

Monocular vision (motion and biological motion; colour; spatial vision)

Perceptual learning and plasticity
Learning specificity and transfer in healthy vision

Cross-modal (visuo-vestibular) interactions

Vision and neurorehabilitation
Visual learning in the binocularly impaired

Perceptual learning in ageing

We are recruiting participants for the following studies!

Brain Imaging (fMRI): Eye Balance in Amblyopia

Brain Stimulation (cTBS) and Enhancing Binocular Function

Behaviour: Eye dominance across the visual field

Behaviour: Eye dominance indexing; Perceptual memory

Binocular Training

Perceptual training shifts eye balance, but how? (KY's paper is out!)

Before you read this one, you should read our previous work in IOVS 2021. In any case, KY trained 213094980891234 people again, but this...
