Mirror Neurons: Ramachandran advocates for the importance of mirror neurons. Neural Cross-Wiring/Synesthesia: Ramachandran was one of the first scientists to theorize that grapheme-color synesthesia comes from a cross-activation between brain regions. Mirror Visual Feedback/Mirror Therapy: Ramachandran invented the mirror box and presented mirror visual feedback as a treatment for phantom limb paralysis. Phantom Limbs: Ramachandran theorized that there was a connection between phantom limbs and neural plasticity in the adult human brain. Ramachandran is known for using simpler technology in his experiments. Ramachandran also worked with the understanding of synesthesia and invented the mirror box. He then moved on researching neurological syndromes like phantom limbs, body integrity identity disorder, and the Capgras delusion.
He began by doing research on human visual perception. Ramachandran has conducted research on a variety of topics. Ramachandran studied at the University of Madras in Chennai, India, as well as Trinity College at the University of Cambridge. He is currently a professor in the Department of Psychology and the Graduate Program in Neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego, and he is the director of the Center for Brain and Cognition. He is best known for his work in behavioral neurology and visual psychophysics. Ramachandran (1951-) is a neuroscientist from Tamil Nadu, India.
