I
am interested in a variety of issues concerning visual perception,
ranging from how humans use motion and depth perception to understand
their peri-personal space to how visual attention deficits may
contribute to
dyslexia to how visual science and visual art (especialy painting and
movie-making) have informed and affected one another.
I also love music. I learned saxophone in school and taught myself
guitar/bass. I've been playing now for almost 20 years. I also program
drums and keyboards and do multitrack recording at home.

I am generally interested in how humans process
motion and depth information and how they use this information to
interact with the world. I am currently finishing some human
neuroimaging studies invesitgating what cortical areas are involved
with complex visual motion processing. I am currently doing experiments on two phenomena, visual masking and illusory line-motion. In visual masking, a visual stimulus that is
clearly perceived when presented alone is less perceivable (or even
unperceivable) when a second stimulus is presented nearby in time or
space (but not overlapping). In illusory line-motion, a line which is drawn all at once, is perceived to be incrementally drawn from whichever side was nearest to an attentional cue presented just before the line. Understanding these phenomena can better help us understand the role of attention in visual perception.
