Research

Overview

Neural oscillations and their relationship with low-level visual perception.

Projects

My interest lies in low-level visual perception and how they are modulated by endogenous neural oscillations. I am analysing this from three aspects: electrophysiology, psychophysics and neurophysiology. My latest project investigated the modulation of neural oscillations by chromatic stimuli using a multivariate classification paradigm. I am currently working on an fMRI project examining responses to visual stimuli with increasing temporal frequencies.
