Zahra Bagheri
Postdoctoral Researcher
I have a Bachelor and a Master degree in Engineering. As an engineer, I am fascinated how biological system has developed simple and efficient solutions that can be applied to real world applications.
My research focuses on the neural mechanisms that underlie vision and visual behaviour and modelling them for engineering applications.
I use different techniques such as behavioural experiments, neural recordings and computational modelling to understand how the eye and brain process visual information. I previously worked on visual system of insects and crustaceans. Currently, my research is focused on human vision.
