Hi! I'm a (recent) postdoc working in visual neuroscience. I work for Tony Movshon and Lynne Kiorpes at the Center for Neural Science at NYU. I am interested in how the primate visual system develops and I use psychophysical and physiological tools to measure that development.
More specifically, my work primarily focuses on how the brain represents visual form, and how that changes during early life. I use visual textures which vary in their similarity to natural images. Using these textures, I developed both a novel behavioral foraging task to quickly measure behavioral sensitivity to this so-called 'naturalness,' and I paired those measurements with population neural recordings from relevant visual cortical areas - using adapted classification methods, my goal is to quantitatively compare neural and behavioral naturalness sensitivity during development.
