Research:

I am interested in mathematical modeling of the primary visual cortex, with an emphasis on contextual effect and perception.  

Projects:

1. Understanding the optimization principle of the primary visual cortex under natural viewing condition

2. Investigating mechanism for extra-classical receptive field phenomena via conductance based model of neuron
