neuroscience and computational perspectives.  Training includes 2
training workshops (on fMRI and eye-movements), participation in
annual meetings and visits to other research groups.  Research
projects focus on various aspects of visual perception, visual
cognition and motor control.  Methods include psychophysics, fMRI,
EEG, eye and arm movements, and computational modelling.
