| Abstract: | (CIT): Prof. Cavanagh, a leader in research in visual neuroscience and perception, has contributed original studies to the understanding of motion perception, spatial vision, color vision, attentional processes, object recognition and the links between art and brain function. Recent work from his lab on attention, its spatial and temporal resolution (Nature) and its tracking functions (Science) has opened up new directions in this active field. His discovery with Ikuya Murakami of a motion compensation mechanism that steadies the visual world during fixation (Nature) has triggered brain imaging and physiological explorations of the response to microsaccades. His report with David Whitney that motion distorts perceived position (Nature Neuroscience) brought new interest to the question of the representation of position in the visual system. |
