Research Interests:
I want to discover how our perceptual abilities, particularly
our visual abilities, can be related the properties of the underlying
mechanisms. At present I am working on two projects funded by
the Wellcome Trust. With Dr Fatima Felisberti I am studying the
physiological mechanisms whereby visual signal regulate the gain
of neurones in the lateral geniculate nucleus. With Dr Outi Ukkonen
I am investigating the nature of the mechanisms that signal the
motion of patterns that consist of spatial variations on the contrast
of another pattern.
