Dr. Julio Martinez-Trujillo Lab
Welcome to the Cognitive Neurophysiology Laboratory at
McGill University.
Understanding the neurophysiological basis of cognition is
one of the greatest challenges faced by neuroscientists. In
the last decades we have made considerable progress
searching for neural correlates of cognitive functions in
the primate brain, however what we currently know is just
the tip of the iceberg.
The laboratory uses a combination of techniques such as
behavioral measurements, extra-cellular single cell
recordings and brain mapping in order to explore the
physiology of cognition, more specifically, the physiology
of attention, visuomotor transformations and motion
perception. Ultimately, the results of our research will be
applied to the study of diseases that affect human health.
