Mentor's Bio:
He received his Ph.D. in 1993 from the Joint Bioengineering Program of UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco.
Research Topic(s) Summary:
Human Sensorimotor Systems
Description of Research:
His research uses behavioral, psychophysical, and computational techniques to study how the brain integrates volition, vision, and memory to generate movements of the eyes. Current projects focus on how spatial memory increases the accuracy of eye movements in complex visual scenes, how cognition alters extremely rapid visuomotor reflexes, and how eye movements are influenced by visual illusions.
