Welcome to my web page.
My research interests are concerned with the mechanisms involved with
perceptual learning and information processing in the lower levels of the
visual system. Specifically, I am investigating the relation between
processing in the dorsal stream pathway of the human primary visual system
and reading ability in normal readers and the reading disabled.
Moreover, I am exploring a new methodology to measure ventral and dorsal
stream processing with several newly designed devices and procedures that
will assess a person's ability to process sensory information in the lower
visual cortex. Once completed I hope to use these new methodologies to
independently target the magnocellular and parvocellular systems and
determine the range of perceptual functions affected by this region of the
brain.
