Title: How Voluntary and Involuntary Attention Differentially Shape Perception
About Marisa Carrasco: Marisa Carrasco is the Julius Silver Professor of Psychology and Neural Science at New York University. She was elected to the National Academy of Sciences (2021) and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2023), named a Guggenheim Fellow, and served as President of the Vision Sciences Society (2011–2012). Carrasco and her research team use a wide range of methods, including psychophysics, neuroimaging (fMRI and MEG), non-invasive neurostimulation (TMS), and computational modeling to investigate the neural mechanisms of visual perception and reveal how attention modulates perceptual performance and alters appearance in a variety of visual tasks.
