Dr. Norcia is Senior Scientist at the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute in San Francisco, USA, a position he has held since 1993. His work centres around two themes: the relationship between neural activity and conscious visual perception, and the role that visual experience plays in determining the course of visual development. He focuses on early and mid-level visual processes that underlie the perception of objects and the layout of surfaces in the environment, and to advance this work he collaborates with the Royal Liverpool Children's Hospital, Alderhey. He graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1975 with a B.A. Psychology, followed by a Ph.D in Physiological Psychology from Stanford University in 1981.
