Research Interests
Cognitive processing often manifests itself perceptually.
Clearly, the sensory system plays a very important role in
determining these phenomena. My research is primarily
involved in determining visual processing of spatial
information and how the sensory system generates a
perceptual event. However, some of the most intriguing
perceptual phenomena cannot easily be explained by a
narrow sensory approach, for example, changes in visual
perception that follow the presentation of non-visual
information.
Facilities
Two large research labs in the School of Optometry, access
to four clinics where sensory anomalies are regularly
encountered, a large variety of high resolution computer
generated image-display systems (black and white, and
color). Full radiometric and colorimetry measurement
facilities.
