Research Description:

I am interested in how we process visual stimuli and interpret this information in a meaningful way. Visual information can influence our behaviour, even when the information cannot be consciously perceived. By using a variety of techniques including psychophysics, functional magnetic resonance imaging, and electrophysiological recordings, it may be possible to unravel some of the mysteries behind visual processing.
