Research: the dynamics of visual perception

My research focuses on the dynamics of visual attention and basic temporal limits on our visual processing.

In one project, I am investigating the temporal resolution of visual feature binding.

In another, I have investigated the midstream order deficit. (demo included)

I am fascinated by the "wakes" and "spokes" illusions,
new motion-induced illusions which my collaborators and I describe in two papers.

In my undergraduate work at the University of Virginia in Michael Kubovy's Perception Lab, my colleagues and I showed that in a bunch of dot patterns, perceived grouping is affected only by distance, not by spatial context. See the first 1998 issue of Cognitive Psychology or click on the dots.

Teaching etc.

I'm a graduate student in the Harvard Vision Sciences Lab, and
a former teaching fellow for Harvard's Psychology 13, Cognitive Psychology and Vision and Brain courses (these sites are mostly restricted to Harvard browsers).
