Ph.D. Thesis

I did my thesis work with Peter Lennie, in his old lab at Rochester. There, I explored (1) how quickly neurons provide information that allows stimuli to be discriminated, (2) stimulus-selective adaptation of neural responses in an unmoving observer, and (3) pattern-selective effects of stimulating neurons outside their receptive fields.
