Information about the project

Orthogonalize retinotopy and reading localizer stimulus (building on the Word-Center paradigm's goal to decouple spatial mapping from reading processes),



convert the Master’s thesis document titled "Design and Validation of a Hybrid Stimulus fMRI Paradigm for Simultaneous Retinotopy and Mapping of Reading-Selective Visual Cortex" into a peer-reviewed paper, and perform advanced signal analyses (e.g., pRF modeling, NORDIC denoising, fMRIPrep preprocessing and signal separation algorithms) on the new paradigm’s BOLD time series.

The RA will be analyzing data and writing.

PI and research groups:

The Computational Vision & Reading Group with the Language and Memory Control group investigates the neural mechanisms of literacy by treating the human visual system as a complex computational gateway that links sensory input with linguistic processing. By leveraging the precise experimental control afforded by visual stimuli, we trace neural signals with high precision from the early visual cortex to specialized word-recognition regions, quantifying how signaling across retinotopic maps reconfigures during reading. Our research program integrates multi-modal neuroimaging with high-l
