I am very pleased to welcome Carson Cajka who joined the Baldwin Vision Lab as a graduate student in Fall 2024.

My name is Carson Cajka, and I am a first year MSc student in the Integrated Program in Neuroscience at McGill University. I graduated from Wake Forest University with a Bachelors of Science in Biophysics with a minor in neuroscience. I am interested in applying computational approaches to neural mechanics. My current project uses psychophysical methods to better understand coherence texture discrimination. This should shed some light on the murkier areas of texture perception, as coherence texture is relatively understudied. I am also an avid outdoorsman, so I like to recharge my mental batteries by escaping the city. In the future I’d like to apply my talents to solving biological problems using biophysical methods and computational analytics.
