Visual Perception and Attention

In my PhD research, I studied electrophysiological signals in the brain related to sensory processing of visual information, visual attention, and working memory using methods from signal processing, information theory, detection theory, and machine learning. Prior to that, I worked in research labs and interned at NASA Ames, applying signal processing techniques to neural data from the auditory system, the motor system, and patients with movement disorders.
