Biography

 
Srijita received a BS-MS Dual Degree in Life Sciences from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata, in 2022. For her Master's research project, she explored the effect of prolonged face mask usage on the perception of faces. In September 2022, she joined the Psychological and Brain Sciences Department as a graduate student at the VIU lab. Outside of vision science and honing her computational skills, Srijita can often be found writing poetry, playing guitar, enjoying the music of Einaudi, or trekking in the Himalayan Mountains.
 

Research

 
Srijita is currently interested in investigating the neural correlates of eye movements in general, and gaze-following behavior in particular. More specifically, she intends to explore the temporal dynamics of brain activity involved in interpreting gaze cues by utilizing concurrent measurements of behavioral and neural activities. Broadly, Srijita is interested in combining psychophysical, neural, and computational approaches to understand, model, and predict complex visual perceptual behavior.
