❤️computational vision & vision science❤️ First year PhD student @carrasco_lab and @nyuniversity; Bachelor's @UBC; Master's @nyuniversity
Looking forward to presenting my work with @hsinghaolee, Klara Hoxha, Antonio Fernández, Nina Hanning and Marisa Carrasco, titled “Does human right frontal eye field (rFEF+) play a critical role in exogenous attention?” at @VSSMtg this year! @carrasco_lab


Thanks for all the interest in our poster and insightful opinions & suggestions @VSSMtg . Congrats to Rachel @Rachel_QC77 for her first VSS attendance and co-presentation! Looking forward to meeting everyone at next VSS!
Excited to have given my first talk at #VSS2025! Huge thanks to everyone who came, asked thoughtful questions, and shared great suggestions🤩 Grateful to my collaborators Dr. Antoine Barbot, Chen Qingyuan, and my advisor Prof. Marisa Carrasco. Stay tuned for the manuscript!
Tomorrow morning (May 18, 8:30 am – 12:30 pm) I will be presenting my poster with @carrasco_lab at @VSSMtg at Pavilion Endogenous attention enhances contrast sensitivity similarly around cardinal meridians despite differential adaptation effects! #VSS2025
Excited to share my work on Sunday at 9am in Talk room 1! Come nerd out with me about both patterns and chaos of the brain! #VSS2025
Our paper is out in iScience! In the study, we used TMS to reveal the interaction between visual adaptation and exogenous attention in the early visual cortex. @carrasco_lab cell.com/iscience/fullt…
First preprint of my PhD! Thanks for amazing supervision from Clayton Curtis and all the cool people from Clayspace lab and help from everyone at NYU CBI without which this work would not have been successful. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Had a fantastic experience at my first VSS @VSSMtg. Where I not only enjoyed meeting and discussing science with wonderful people but also had the opportunity to co-present with @ShutianXue73367 @carrasco_lab on our latest research. Looking forward to seeing you again next year!!




Excited to present my work with Antoine Barbot, Rachel Chen and Marisa Carrasco on “Internal noise and efficiency underlie performance asymmetries throughout the visual field” at @VSSMtg! @carrasco_Lab Mark our poster session next Wednesday (5/22) at 8:30am in Banyan Breezeway!
See you soon!!!
Check out our posters in @VSSMtg this year! I will be presenting "Visual adaptation is more pronounced at the horizontal than vertical meridian" on Tuesday morning. You are welcome to stop by and share your thoughts! @carrasco_lab
A new paper with Dr. Antonio Fernández and Dr. Marisa Carrasco is now out on JNeuro! "Featural Representation and Internal Noise Underlie the Eccentricity Effect in Contrast Sensitivity" @carrasco_lab jneurosci.org/content/44/3/e…
