 REU 2008 - Mentor abstract
he Sheng He
Psychology

   Dr. He studies the neural basis of human vision, visual  attention, and visual awareness. Current research projects include  the neural processing of invisible visual information, the spatial  and temporal properties of the early visual cortex; the effect of  attentional modulation at different cortical sites; the nature and  dynamics of binocular rivalry; and the pattern and motion adaptation  processes. Both psychophysical and functional Magnetic Resonance  Imaging methods are used in these studies.
