One of my interests is the effect of visual stimuli on the activity of neurons in the visual system. To find out more about this research, check out the symposia that I organized in 2003, and in 2005.
For the status of our work as of 2005 watch a talk I gave at the National Institutes of Health, or at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute.
One of my longstanding interests is pattern adaptation, which is always a good excuse to show a funny demo. Look at the rotating spiral for 30 s or more, and then look at something you know well, like the back of your hand.
A more complete list of my interests and projects can be found here. Also of possible interest, my collection of failed Neuron covers.
Occasionally, I write reviews of recent papers on Faculty of 1000. Here are the reviews I have written to date (requires subscription).
For 2008 and 2009, I am closely involved in running the Computational and Systems Neuroscience meeting. I also help run the Fall Vision Meeting of the Optical Society of America.
Finally, this is where I stand in the big tree.
