DESCRIPTION OF WORK / BIOSKETCH
I am studying brain visual cortex in humans and monkeys using fMRI/ERP techniques. My main interests include neural correlates of face, scene and object perception and also understanding effect of top-down control on neural response within visual areas.
Most recent papers:
Nasr S., Tootell RBH (in press) Role of fusiform and anterior temporal cortical areas in facial recognition. Neuroimage.
Nasr S., Tootell RBH (in press) A cardinal orientation bias in scene-selective visual cortex. Journal of Neuroscience.
