It is sometimes said that the
biological purpose of the brain is to
generate behaviour. On the other hand, about half of the cerebral
cortex is devoted to vision-related functions. It follows that the
neural mechanisms that transform vision into commands for behaviour are
central to brain function. The corollary of this is that
visual-motor functions are central to most daily activities, and are frequently compromised by neurological disorders and injuries. We are particularly
interested in the spatial aspects of these processes: how
the brain represents and updates objects in short-term spatial memory and then transforms this information into plans for action in three-dimensional
space. To study this, we employ modeling, psychophysics, neurophysiology, fMRI, TMS, MEG and experiments with patients. For more information on the philosophy behind our research and training, see this
