Dr. Scott  has a PhD in neuroscience from York University, where he recieved training in EEG and psychophysics with thesis mentor Alex Wade. He pursued a postdoc with Anthony Norcia at Stanford exploring high-density EEG steady-state visual evoked potentials as a diagnostic tool in glaucoma. Martin then joined Dr. Ash's research group to develop transcranial focused ultrasound neuromodulation approaches in the human subcortical visual pathway, initially at Stanford and now at UCSF. Martin's promary project is to investigate the roles of subcortical visual system nuclei in human perceptual processes including contrast, attention, motion, and objection recognition. He uses transcranial focused ultrasound, rigorous visual perceptual psychophysics, and EEG to explore these questions.
