Visual receptive fields of Thalamocortical Boutons

Departmental Lecturer
- Senior Postdoctoral Research Scientist
Auditory and Visual Neuroscience
I obtained undergraduate degrees from the University of London, Goldsmiths College (BSc) and the University of Düsseldorf (Diplom) and an MSc and DPhil from the University of Oxford. As a Postdoc I worked with Sonja Hofer and Tom Mrsic-Flogel at University College London before returning to Oxford and the Auditory Neuroscience Group.
Using psychophysical, anatomical, electrophysiological and optical tools I hope to improve our understanding of the functional architecture of the brain's sensory circuits and the computations underlying sensory perception.
