In our research, we explore the processes that underpin how we gather, select, and process information from the world around us. We characterise these processes by studying how they work in healthy individuals and identifying disruptions in clinical patients. We use a wide range of techniques - from behavioural to electrophysiological - and a similarly wide range of paradigms - from precisely controlled psychophysics to observations during natural everyday behaviour.
We ask questions such as:
- What do we encode and retain from the objects we look at?
- How do people extract information from the environment to learn to effectively interact within it?
- How is visual processing impacted by brain injury?
- How do we perceive a stable visual environment?
- How does visual clutter impair object recognition?
- How do radiologists perceive radiographs in screening?
- How does the past affect our perception in the present?
