Professor Michael Morgan is a renowned neuroscientist at City, University of London , specializing in the visual system. He joined the institution in 2000 and has held a Professor of Neuroscience appointment. His career spans prestigious institutions including the University of Cambridge , McGill University , Durham University , University College London (UCL) , and University of Edinburgh . Education: PhD, MA, and ScD in Natural Sciences (Experimental Psychology) from the University of Cambridge His research focuses on behavioural neuroscience with applications to vision science , particularly in motion processing , spatial vision , perceptual decision-making , and visual adaptation mechanisms . Current projects funded by the EPSRC and Wellcome Trust explore selective attention , signal detection , and visual space recalibration . Recent publications highlight his work on change detection , direction-selective adaptation , density/contrast modulation , and stereopsis . Collaborations with colleagues like J.A. Solomon and S. Grant span both Applied Vision Research Centre and external institutions such as UCI and Institute of Ophthalmology . Scientific Honors: Elected Fellow, The Royal Society (2005–present) His work bridges psychophysics , visual perception , and neural mechanisms , with implications for understanding both normal and clinical visual processing.
