Research in the Leopold Lab Topic 1: The neurophysiology of visual perception   What processes in the brain determine the contents of our visual perception? We study this question using stimuli that offer more than one perceptual alternative. Topic 2: Visual processing of faces and complex objects   What principles underlie the brain’s encoding of faces and other complex visual patterns? We study the dynamics of this process using a norm-based framework. alternative. Topic 3: Large scale functional connectivity in the visual system   How do systems-wide activity patterns in the brain influence processing? To study this, we combine electrophysiology, fMRI, and neuropharacology alternative. Methodology in the Unit on Cognitive Neurophysiology and Imaging   Research in the laboratory relies on a combined techniques approach to study the roots of perception.
