Broadly speaking, my primary research interests are in the cognitive neuroscience of human visual perception and attention. That is to say, I am interested in how we select and perceive visual information from the world around us and in the relationships between these psychological phenomena and the anatomy and physiology of the visual system. To investigate these issues, I combine information from several complementary techniques, including psychophysical studies of normal and brain-damaged populations, event-related brain potentials (ERP), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and near-infrared optical imaging (EROS). Current projects in my lab include studies of the interactions between perceived motion and attentional facilitation, visual grouping, and the effects of aging and individual differences on perception and attention, amongst others.
