Research Interests

My research aims to understand the mechanisms of biological vision and the human brain using fMRI. For years I have been working in related areas such as image processing, statistical analysis, imaging sequence programming, new fMRI methods and applications, biophysical basis of fMRI, and mechanisms of general anesthesia. I currently work on developing high-sensitivity and high-specificity NMR methods to understand the neurophysiological basis of neuroimaging, neural mechanisms of anesthesia, and brain diseases.
