Dr. Sabine Kastner is a Professor at Princeton University affiliated with the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. Her research program focuses on understanding large-scale networks that operate cognition, using the visual attention network as a model. Her work addresses questions related to the efficiency of communication within neural codes used by network nodes that drive behavior. She explores these issues through research on primate brain models, including studies on human and macaque monkeys, combining invasive electrophysiology techniques such as Electrocorticography in human epilepsy patients and multi-site recordings in monkeys with various brain imaging modalities like functional magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion tensor imaging. Her lab also investigates the neural basis of attentional selection in natural scenes, the functional parcellation of the human parietal cortex, the topographic organization of the human visual system, and the neural foundations of object perception, collaborating with other researchers on studies involving patients with object agnosia and amnesia.
