Dr. Adrian Nestor is an Associate Professor with the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto Scarborough. After completing his PhD in Cognitive Science at Brown University, he joined the Department of Psychology and the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition at Carnegie Mellon University as a postdoctoral fellow and, subsequently, as a research scientist. In 2013 he relocated to Canada to take up a faculty position at University of Toronto, Scarborough campus.

 Research in our lab focuses on neural and computational aspects of visual recognition. A major goal of this research is to clarify the relationship between objective image properties and the structure of neural representations in high-level visual cortex. To this end, our work involves neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG) and neuropsychological investigations along with behavioral psychophysics and computational modeling of visual face and object processing. A related line of research concerns the development of novel methods for the analysis and interpretation of neuroimaging data.
