Former Associate Professor, Psychology
I am a cognitive neuroscientist investigating the neural basis of visual recognition. I am particularly interested in how visual recognition occurs in real-world settings and adopt a neuroergonomic approach to study the applied aspects of high-level vision. My research interests include visual expertise, object and scene recognition, augmented cognition, categorization, perceptual learning, and top-down control.
In my lab, the Human Neuroscience and Visual Cognition Lab, we employ a host of cognitive neuroscience techniques, including EEG, fMRI, psychophysics, and eye tracking to study how people perceive and think about the world around them, and how these processes are substantiated in the brain.
The goal of the Human Neuroscience and Visual Cognition Lab is to promote a highly interdisciplinary research that will bridge diverse theoretical, experimental and applied approaches to uncover how brain activity gives rise to high-level vision in the real world.
