Kelly's work focuses on various aspects of the philosophical, phenomenological, and cognitive neuroscientific nature of human experience. This gives him a broad forum: recent work has addressed, for example, the experience of time, the possibility of...
My lab focuses on synaptic plasticity: cellular mechanisms, development of functional networks and links to behavior.
Our lab is interested in the neural circuitry of the primate visual cortex and how it relates to perception and visually guided behavior. Our current focus is on areas of the brain that make calculations about visual motion.
My laboratory is a place where individuals gather with the common purpose of understanding social cognition and emotion as it resides outside conscious awareness and control. Our goal is to provide a basic understanding of the mechanics of implicit...
George Alvarez uses behavioral, computational, and neuroscience methods to understand how the visual system uses efficient encoding strategies to optimize the allocation of its limited resources. His research on this topic falls into four broad categories...
