Research topics: We examine how brain and visual perception change across development to understand how the interplay between anatomical constraints and viewing experience shapes visual cortex and ultimately behavior.
Techniques: We use human brain activity measurements (functional MRI and EEG) and behavioral measurement (psychophysics).
