Suresh Krishna is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physiology at McGill University's Faculty of Medicine. His research focuses on the neurophysiological and computational basis of sensory processing, attention, and eye movements, with applications to brain-machine interfaces and human health. He works with human subjects, non-human primates, and open datasets using in-vivo electrophysiology, eye-tracking, and computational modeling.
Research interests include visual attention mechanisms, saccadic eye movement control, neural coding of motion perception, and the interplay between attention and decision-making. His work bridges basic neuroscience with translational applications such as improving neural prosthetics and understanding perceptual disorders.
Recent work highlights how neural remapping processes during saccades underlie spatial perception, and how attention modulates neural activity patterns in visual cortex. The lab's publications reveal critical insights into the temporal dynamics of attentional shifts and their neural substrates, particularly in areas MT and MST.
Dr. Krishna's team also investigates auditory temporal processing in the inferior colliculus, exploring correlations between neuronal responses to sound modulation. Their findings contribute to understanding how sensory systems encode temporal information across modalities.
Research is conducted in the M2B3 Lab (http://m2b3.lab.mcgill.ca), which integrates experimental and computational approaches to study brain mechanisms underlying perception and action. No specific awards are listed, but ongoing work involves major contributions to primate neurophysiology and translational neuroscience.
