Arani Roy studies how the visual part of the brain (visual cortex) develops and processes information, using advanced imaging techniques like three-photon and high-field fMRI microscopy to observe neural activity at fine spatial resolution, including in specific cortical layers and even individual blood vessels. Their work examines how neurons become tuned to detect motion direction and visual stimuli, and how this tuning develops with or without early sensory experience. More recent work also touches on computational/machine-learning approaches to modeling brain-like learning.

Publication output peaked around 2020 with several papers, then settled into a slower, fairly steady pace of about one to two papers per year through the mid-2020s.
