bio

Oliver received a B.S. in computer science from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical University in 2002 and a Ph.D. in cognitive and neural systems from Boston University in 2007. His doctoral work focused on characterizing the geometry of primary visual cortex in human using surface-based analysis of structural magnetic resonance images. His interests include understanding how spatial representations in cortex facilitate brain function and developing methods to harness these representations for novel applications.
