<div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal">The <a href="http://aplab.bcs.rochester.edu/" target="_blank">Active Perception Laboratory</a> (PIs: Martina Poletti & Michele Rucci) has openings at multiple levels for studying visual processing and visuomotor integration in humans. The laboratory recently relocated to the University of Rochester and is part of the <a href="http://www.sas.rochester.edu/bcs/graduate/" target="_blank">Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences</a>, the <a href="https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/neuroscience.aspx" target="_blank">Department of Neuroscience</a>, and the <a href="https://www.cvs.rochester.edu/" target="_blank">Center for Visual Science</a>.<br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Research in the laboratory relies on multiple techniques, including testing of visual functions with highly controlled retinal stimulation, computational modeling of the visual system, and analysis of the visual input signals caused by normal and abnormal motor activity. The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art tools for high-resolution recording of head and eye movements, EEG recordings, and for precisely manipulating the stimulus on the retina during motor behavior. Examples of recent findings from the laboratory can be found in <a href="http://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822%2817%2930332-9" target="_blank">Boi et al Curr Biol, 2017</a> and <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/nn.4622" target="_blank">Poletti et al Nat Neurosci, 2017</a>.
