David Ferster mainly investigates Visual cortex, Neuroscience, Stimulus, Anatomy and Receptive field. He has included themes like Electrophysiology and Membrane potential in his Visual cortex study. Neuroscience is a component of his Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Cerebral cortex studies.
In his works, David Ferster conducts interdisciplinary research on Stimulus and CATS. His work carried out in the field of Anatomy brings together such families of science as Lateral geniculate nucleus, Neuron and Cortex. He combines subjects such as Hyperpolarization and Tonic with his study of Receptive field.
Visual cortex, Neuroscience, Stimulus, Receptive field and Excitatory postsynaptic potential are his primary areas of study. The Visual cortex study combines topics in areas such as Electrophysiology and Communication. Many of his research projects under Neuroscience are closely connected to Chemistry with Chemistry, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
His studies in Stimulus integrate themes in fields like Hyperpolarization, Cortical neurons and Lateral inhibition. His Receptive field research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Stereopsis, Binocular disparity and Spatial frequency. Excitatory postsynaptic potential is a subfield of Inhibitory postsynaptic potential that David Ferster studies.
His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Visual cortex, Stimulus, Visual system and Surround suppression. He performs integrative study on Neuroscience and Molecular interactions. His Visual cortex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Normalization, Receptive field, Artificial intelligence, Depolarization and Membrane potential.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Representation and Computer vision. His work deals with themes such as Stimulation and Patch clamp, which intersect with Membrane potential. His Stimulus research incorporates themes from Stereopsis, Binocular disparity and Lateral geniculate nucleus.
His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Surround suppression, Visual system, Visual cortex and Stimulus. His work in the fields of Neuroscience, such as Binocular neurons and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, overlaps with other areas such as CATS. Binocular neurons is a subfield of Receptive field that David Ferster investigates.
His Inhibitory postsynaptic potential research focuses on Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Neural Inhibition. Posterior parietal cortex, Neural variability, Wakefulness, Cerebral cortex and Response Variability are fields of study that overlap with his CATS research.
