It is widely appreciated that the brain has a remarkable capacity to process incoming information. The overall goal of my research is to understand the processes happening in the brain that allow us to see the world around us. Although the eyes detect light, most of what is commonly thought of as vision actually arises from analyses performed by a chain of interconnected brain regions called the geniculo-striate pathway.

人们普遍认识到，大脑具有处理输入信息的非凡能力。我研究的总体目标是了解大脑中发生的过程，这些过程让我们能够看到周围的世界。尽管眼睛能探测到光，但大多数通常被认为是视觉的东西实际上是由一系列相互关联的大脑区域进行的分析，这些区域被称为膝状体-纹状体通路。
