Anthony Movshon, who has been Director ever since, with brief interruptions. The Center has 25 faculty members. Among them are three members of the National Academy of Sciences: J. Anthony Movshon, David Heeger, and Joseph E. LeDoux. Thanks to the work of Paul Glimcher,[2] it is one of the birthplaces of neuroeconomics.
