| Bruce Cumming, M.D., Ph.D., Investigator |
 |
Dr. Cumming received his B.A., M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Oxford University in the U.K. He worked with Stuart Judge for his graduate studies, recording the activity of midbrain neurons that control vergence eye movements. After a medical internship he went to work with Andrew Parker on psychophysical studies of stereopsis in humans. After being awarded a University Research Fellowship by the Royal Society, he began studying signals in cortical neurons that could support stereopsis. Dr. Cumming Joined the NEI as an Investigator in 2000. His laboratory studies the links between activity in cortical neurons and the perception of depth.
