-    It has been claimed that data is the new oil. Discovery and understanding in psychological and brain science depend on the ability to process large amounts of “good data” to extract meaningful insights. The PESTILLI LAB capitalizes on the recent opportunities for large-scale data analysis, data science and machine learning. The lab uses advanced data-driven methods to find unexplored associations between brain biomarkers and behavior, and to advance scientific theory and understanding.
+    It has been said that data are the new oil, emphasizing the value of data in driving discovery and understanding in psychological and brain science. At the PESTILLI LAB, we harness the potential of large-scale data analysis, data science, and machine learning to process vast amounts of high-quality data, extracting meaningful insights. Our lab employs advanced data-driven methods to uncover previously unexplored associations between brain biomarkers and behavior, ultimately contributing to the advancement of scientific theory and understanding.

-    Vision is the primary human sense.
-    Visual function requires coordinating the activity of multiple systems, from the eyes to the brain.
-    Visual signals travel across long-range myelinated axonal pathways that form a network of neurons and brain areas.
-    As of today, we understand much about the function of individual neurons and brain areas but less about communication between brain areas.
-    The PESTILLI LAB works on understanding how neurons and brain areas connect and form networks and how these networks support human behavior.
-    The laboratory research combines multiple neuroimaging measurements to study how networks and the biological tissue support human vision during development and across the lifespan.
+    Vision is the primary human sense, relying on the intricate coordination of multiple systems, from the eyes to the brain. Visual signals traverse long-range myelinated axonal pathways, forming a complex network of neurons and brain areas. While much is known about the function of individual neurons and brain areas, our understanding of the communication between these areas remains limited. The PESTILLI LAB focuses on uncovering how neurons and brain areas connect to form networks that support human behavior. Our research combines multiple neuroimaging measurements to study how these networks and the underlying biological tissue sustain human vision during development and across the lifespan.
