Michael Hill is interested in the science of consciousness.  As a PhD student under the tutelage of Susan Greenfield at Oxford University, Mr. Hill's academic thought and research pursuits are focused on revealing how the brain produces the mind.  He is also investigating the effects of anaesthetics, neuromodulators and psychoactive drugs on cortical dynamics with voltage sensitive dyes and electrophysiology.

I am interested in investigating the neural mechanisms that produce conscious experience. My research has two aspects. First, I am investigating the psychophysics of visual awareness and its interaction with other brain processes, including memory, attention and visual aftereffects. I use two techniques, continuous flash suppression and prolonged interocular motion-induced suppression, to present stimuli for long periods of time without subjects consciously perceiving them.  I am interested in exploring what types of brain processes can still occur in response to a visual stimulus that we are not aware of. For example, can we remember something that our eyes saw but our mind never perceived?
The second aspect of my research is in the area of Cognitive Neurophysiology. I record the activity of neurons in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and visual cortex of macaca mulata during tasks that require the maintenance of visual features in working memory. I am investigating the neural mechanisms by which the brain maintains conscious representations in the absence of sensory input.
