lab</span></a><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span><a href="https://visionlab.ece.utah.edu/"></a></span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Moran Eye Institute, at the University of Utah. In collaboration
with the</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span><a href="https://medicine.utah.edu/ophthalmology/research/noudoost-lab/" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Noudoost lab</span></a><span style="font-size: 10pt;">, the research
is aimed to elucidate the neural computations and circuit mechanisms underlying dynamic vision in order to decipher the brain algorithms generating our visual perception during saccadic eye movements. It involves a variety of techniques including array electrophysiological
recording, pharmacological manipulation, computational modeling, statistical learning and inference, and psychophysical experiments in awake behaving nonhuman primates as well as human subjects. </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
