Research Focus: Neural representation of object boundary and surface properties in macaque area V4

 

 

RESEARCH

I’m interested in how visual information is encoded, transmitted to create a unified representation of the visual scene. In Pasupathy lab, I’m studying the neural mechanisms of object recognition in the primate visual cortex. Recently, our research showed that object boundary and surface texture properties are jointly encoded in macaque area V4.

My experimental approaches include neurophysiological recordings, computational modeling and psychophysics.
