We study visual recognition of high level forms such as faces, letters and objects. Our purpose is to advance the understanding of the brain mechanisms and processes responsible for visual recognition. We investigate the nature of neural computations that support normal high-level visual function as well as the disruptions to these that result in visual impairments.
