Biography

Dr. Cumming studied medicine at Oxford in the UK, and went on to do a D.Phil there studying brainstem neurons that control convergence eye movements. As a postdoctoral fellow with Andrew Parker (also in Oxford) he went on to study the perceptual properties of stereopisis in human subjects, before establishing a laboratory that studied single neurons in awake animals. Dr. Cumming joined the NEI in 2000, and became chief of the Laboratory of Sensorimotor Research in 2006.
