Specialization:
Visual Neuroscience
Davide Zoccolan’s Visual Neuroscience Lab investigates the neuronal processing of visual information, using a combination of psychophysics and multi-unit neuronal recordings in rodents, as well as computational modeling and machine learning. The lab has pioneered the use of rats in the study of high-level visual functions, and is currently pursuing several projects aimed at understanding the neuronal basis of visual object recognition and motion perception in this species.
