Our decisions, which are often based on sensory information, are ultimately manifested as behaviours, such as our eye movements (e.g., shifting one's gaze to the stimulus of interest). The goal of the proposed research is to uncover the structure and function of neural circuits that convert visual information into motor commands. The oculomotor system is an ideal model for investigating this question because eye movements are easy to quantify and the cortical areas involved in visuomotor transformation have been well identified. Read more...
