Areas of Interest
Dr. Drew is a human physiologist whose primary research interest focuses on the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying eye movements in healthy human subjects, as well as cortical mechanisms of attentional orienting. Functional neuroimaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation are two techniques Dr. Drew has used to demonstrate that the frontal and supplementary eye fields contribute to the initiation of smooth pursuit eye movements in different ways depending on the level of predictability of subsequent target motion.
