I am interested in understanding how humans and animals acquire a structured internal representation of their visual environment that is suitable for controlling sophisticated cognitive behavior.

In order to tackle such complex questions, I believe it is necessary to use an integrated approach that combines human behavioral studies of different ages, computational modeling, and the use electrophysiological methods in behaving animals.

My hope is that the synergy between these areas will lead us to novel insights in the domain of perceptually based visual cognition.
