My research is about how the cerebral cortex mediates cognitive experiences. The main focus is on object recognition, face, shape and object processing of the central visual pathways in humans and in other primates.

The major question i study is how our brain represents objects independently of their physical properties.

The other major question i study is how the temporal context modifies the stimulus representation.

Finally, my work regards multisensory integration of visual, somatosensory and olfactory infos
