I am a bioengineer with an abiding interest in systems neuroscience, specifically in the function and development of the primate visual system in health and disease. My main experimental tool is electrophysiological recording of neuronal activity. I also make quantitative, psychophysical measurements and, using computaitonal theory, attempt to link brain and behavior.
