David Somers is a Professor of Psychological & Brain Sciences, College of Arts & Sciences and the Director of the Neuroimaging, Perception & Attention Laboratory. His research employs functional MRI, psychophysics, and computational modeling to investigate the mechanisms underlying visual perception and cognition. His laboratory performs experiments to identify the human brain circuity which support different visual tasks, and to study how different cognitive factors such as attention modulate these circuits. Modeling work investigates the computational mechanisms at work in these circuits.
