Research Overview

The laboratory’s main aim is to understand the neural basis of perception, attention and memory, with a particular focus on the visual system.  To this end it undertakes research using a variety of techniques ranging from single cell and multiple unit recordings in animal models to psychophysics and neuroimaging in human subjects.  While most of the research activities fall under the umbrella of basic research, it also has an active programme in understanding the neural basis of dyslexia and possible ways of early diagnosis and remediation.
