About me and my research interests
I'm interested in neural mechanisms of visual and auditory perceptual processing, space representation, and attentional processes in humans. I'm also interested in cross-modal plasticity in the visual cortex: for example, how do visual areas in the brains of blind (and sighted) people respond to nonvisual inputs? I approach this question by studying the phenomenon of echolocation, a skill used by some blind individuals to aid in navigation and object perception.
