Summary
I am currently doing my PhD in neuroscience, under the joint supervision of Dr. Alireza Tavakkoli, Dept of Computer Science, University of Nevada, Reno, and Dr. Michael A. Crognale, Dept of Psychology, University of Nevada, Reno. My research focuses on using visual-evoked potential (VEP) and multifocal visual-evoked potential (mVEP) for the early detection of visual pathologies. I am interested in using machine learning techniques on the VEP/mVEP dataset to classify the loss of visual function in visual pathologies. I am also interested in transferring the standard VEP experiments to VR for better accessibility.
In the past, for my MS in Neuroscience, I studied the effect of visual deprivation on retinal physiology in an amblyopic mouse model. I also worked on a computational model of trichromatic color vision anomaly in humans using the psychophysics method with Dr. Michael Webster at the University of Nevada, Reno. Besides this, for my MS in Biomedical Engineering, I studied the effects of stimulus parameters on electrically elicited tactile sensations to augment the prosthetic hand to the human body with a feedback mechanism.
