Research interests: Visual perception; Spatial vision; 3D shape from motion; Motion perception, Ageing, Eye movements

Potential topics:

Vision is the most powerful source of information about the environment. Visual information processing allows interpretation of the visual scenes by organizing them into meaningful units, predicting future changes, and interacting with the outside world. The diverse utilities the visual information provides define a broad range of research topics. Potential topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

• plasticity of the visual system
• active vision
• spatial vision and visually guided behavior
• spatiotemporal perception, motion perception
• color vision
• higher-level brain functions like attention, memory, learning, and decision-making
• visual consciousness
• computational neuroscience
• brain imaging
• visual dysfunction in different pathological conditions
