I am the Co-Director of the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition and a faculty member in the Department of Psychology at Carnegie Mellon University. CMU is a terrific place to study high-level perception group - please click here for additional information.
Our research explores how humans visually perceive learn, process, recognize, and remember objects and faces. Over the years we have used a wide variety of techniques, including "computer-graphics" psychophysics, fMRI, DSI, ERP, MEG and computational modeling, as well as collaborating with other labs who use neuropsychological case studies and neurophysiological recordings.
Current research interests focus on the compositional feature code used to represent objects in human IT, on the origins of category-selective responses in human IT, and on interactions between the ventral visual stream and other processing systems (e.g., affective, dorsal, or semantic). Specific methods in use or under development include real-time, adaptive fMRI, high-density fiber tracking based on DSI, and aligned MEG/fMRI.
Consistent with the open source model, we maintain an extensive stimulus archive that provides access to our own collection of faces, familiar objects, and novel objects. Our archive is a component of the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition's much larger stimulus archive. Further information of potential use may be found on our software page detailing what we know about running and analyzing experiments using OS X.
