We use advanced neuroimaging and psychophysical techniques to study early visual processing in humans.

Some of the questions we are studying include:

  • How are color and luminance signals combined in the first few hundred milliseconds after they leave the retina?
  • How do signals originating in the short-wave-sensitive cones differ from those in other visual pathways?
  • How does the spatial arrangement of signals influence the way in which they are process and perceived?

 In order to study these processes, we use a combination of high-density, source-imaged EEG, fMRI and psychophysics.
