SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

My current area of interest is visual perception,specifically the aspects related to plasticity and learning, such as visual adaptation. I am more familiar with psychophysics and fMRI, but I aim to use a wide range of neuroscientific methods. This way, I can ask questions and approach problems from different perspectives without limiting myself to one core method.
