About
Greg Appelbaum is a leading cognitive neuroscientist whose research lies at the intersection of visual perception, decision-making, and brain stimulation. His work focuses on understanding how the human brain accumulates sensory information to form perceptual decisions, particularly within the visual system. In his highly cited 2020 study, Appelbaum employed Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to causally test a network model of perceptual decision-making, demonstrating that the lateral occipital cortex (LOC) plays a critical role in evidence accumulation—a finding that moved beyond correlational imaging and EEG data. This landmark contribution has garnered 11 citations and has helped bridge the gap between neural network models and human behavior. Appelbaum’s research is notable for its rigorous integration of non-invasive brain stimulation with computational modeling, offering powerful insights into the neural substrates of conscious perception. His work not only advances fundamental knowledge in cognitive neuroscience but also holds implications for understanding and potentially treating disorders of visual and decision-making processes.
