After completing an undergraduate degree in Natural Sciences at Cambridge and a PhD in Neuroscience at the Institute of Ophthalmology in UCL, I worked with Brian Wandell at Stanford University from 1999 to 2002 using fMRI to study low-level visual processes. In 2002 I became the coordinator of the Brain Imaging Center at the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Insitute (SKERI) and in 2005 I was made a principal investigator. I am currently funded by the NIH and NSF to study early visual pathways in humans using fMRI, high-density EEG and psychophysics. I am also the Chair of the Optical Society of America (OSA) Vision and Color Technical Division and I am publications chair for the annual COSYNE meeting.
