Robertson Lab

Perception, memory, and neurodiversity

Dartmouth College

 
Our Research

Our lab seeks to understand how we see, remember, and neurodiverge. The link between sensation and cognition is particularly relevant to understanding psychiatric conditions such as autism, where differences in sensory perception shed light on the neurobiology of the condition.

 

By studying how people see the world, we can learn about the structure of cognition and, in return, learn how different patterns of thought shape our experience of the world around us.

To approach these topics, we use a combination of neuroimaging techniques (fMRI and MRS), and relate these measurements to naturalistic visual behaviors using  wearable virtual reality (VR).
