• Research Interests: Neuromechanism of sensory and cognitive processes.My research program aims to define the neural circuits, cellular processes and temporal dynamics of sensory perception and other cognitive processes such as attention, discrimination and learning. The work requires integration of monkey and human studies and is made possible by recent advances in electrode, computing and brain imaging technologies. The work also requires a constant exchange between empirical and computational/ modeling investigations. The results of the monkey and human studies are directly interrelated by using the same (noninvasive) neural measurements and focusing on the same brain operations. Monkeys are then studied further using more invasive techniques in order to directly define the neural mechanisms. Invasive techniques include single cell and cell ensemble electrophysiology, often with pharmacologic manipulations, and using both acutely and chronically positioned multielectrode arrays. Noninvasive techniques include Event Related Potential (ERP) recording, along with both anatomical and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI and fMRI, respectively).
Currently Funded Projects Include:
1) Visual processing and selective attention. (MH60358)
2) Multisensory (visual/auditory/somatosensory) integration. (MH61989)
3) Neuronal connection patterns underlying multisensory convergence. (TW05674)
4) Studies of the neural bases of fMRI signals in monkeys (see data illustration). (MH67560)
