| Richard J. Krauzlis, an associate professor in the Systems Neurobiology Laboratories, studies the links between sensory processing and motor control. The goal of his laboratory is to understand how the neural mechanisms for voluntary eye movements operate in health and in various human disease states. As the next step toward this goal, his laboratory is currently investigating the brain mechanisms that control where we look and how we decide to look somewhere else. The working hypothesis is that particular regions of the brain coordinate these choices by providing estimates of where target stimuli are located in the visual field, and that these estimates are then used to guide movement decisions. In parallel with these physiological experiments, his laboratory is also conducting psychophysical and behavioral experiments in human subjects to probe the links between eye movements, attention and perception.
