The human brain creates rich perceptual experiences from limited sensory information about the external world. Seeing feels effortless because it occurs so rapidly and naturally. Yet this seamless process relies on a series of highly sophisticated computations performed by the visual system within a fraction of a second. My research aims to reveal the neural mechanisms underlying visual perception using psychophysics and neuroimaging.

I am also interested in how the visual system changes through development, learning, and experience. Visual functions undergo remarkable changes during the first year of life, while even the adult visual system retains a substantial capacity for plasticity, allowing it to adapt to changes in the environment. My goal is to understand how the visual system is shaped during development and how it flexibly reorganizes through experience to support adaptive perception.
