My research interests are to reveal such neuronal connections & circuits as a mechanism for sensation/perception. In the past I have studied connections from thalamus to the sensory cortices in vivo. Currently I’m focusing on the study of intra-cortical circuits in vivo, using a combination of electrophysiological and imaging techniques. A part of my research interests covers a reality check of the known perceptual rules in awake behaving animals.
