I’m a postdoctoral researcher in the Silver lab. I’m fascinated by how and why the brain construes impressions of light on the eyes as a visual-experiential model of an external world filled with colors, motion, objects, and meaning.

I believe that psychoactive compounds, including psychedelics, are extremely useful neuroscientific tools because they allow the living human brain to be studied within a framework of causal manipulation. To that end, I’m currently working on a few studies that investigate the effects of different psychoactive drugs on the forms of brain activity that constrain, refine, and elaborate incoming sensory signals, in order to better understand the role these functions play in generating our perceptual world.
