Research Summary
Professor Li’s lab conducts basic and applied research in vision science. Li’s team uses interdisciplinary approaches drawing from psychophysics, neuroscience, computer science, and engineering to examine visual perception, the perception and control of self-motion, the integration of perception with motor control, and the related neural mechanisms.
