Dr. Justin Lieber is a postdoctoral associate with Dr. Tony Movshon at New York University. Prior to coming to New York, Dr. Lieber received his PhD in Computational Neuroscience from the University of Chicago, working with Sliman Bensmaia. In his graduate work, Dr. Lieber studied the neural basis of tactile texture perception, using single-unit recordings in monkey somatosensory cortex to show how disparate peripheral inputs are transformed into a unified neural code. At NYU, Dr. Lieber is using neurophysiological and psychophysical techniques to study how the neural substrates of visual form perception change as they move from primary visual cortex to secondary visual cortex.
