معرفی
Lauri Nurminen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Houston's Cullen College of Engineering. His research focuses on neural mechanisms underlying visual processing, particularly in the primate and human visual systems. His work explores topics such as surround modulation, cortical circuitry, and optogenetic tools for studying neural circuits. He holds a faculty profile at the UH College of Optometry and is affiliated with the Science & Engineering Research Center (SERC).
Research interests include understanding how neural circuits in the visual cortex process spatial and contextual information, leveraging techniques like neurophysiological recordings, computational modeling, and optogenetics. His studies bridge primate and human visual systems, addressing questions about neural response variability, top-down feedback modulation, and the symmetry of foveal-peripheral processing.
No awards or grants are listed in the provided information. His publications emphasize laminar circuits, spatial summation, and cross-species comparisons. He currently has no listed advisees or students in the provided data.
