DESCRIPTION:My research focuses on elucidating the neural principles of ho
 w aspects from visual scenes\, such as colour\, motion or polarisation ang
 le are combined\, incorporated in an animals perception and ultimately use
 d to enhance visually guided behaviours.  I employ a multi-disciplinary ap
 proach (e.g. electrophysiology\, functional imaging\, behavioural assays a
 nd transgenic manipulation) and tackle fundamental neuroscience questions\
 , such as the colour opponent process and signal detection theory by quant
 ifying signals in receivers (neural integration in the fly visual system) 
 and senders (conspecific skin signalling in cephalopods).  My presentation
  will focus on both these aspects and also some of the future direction of
  my new lab here at University of Cambridge.\n\nhttp://cambridge.academia.
