- I am interested in the links between sensory processing and conscious visual awareness. I'm particularly interested in disappearance phenomena (e.g. binocular rivalry) and multistable percepts (e.g. the Necker cube). These phenomena allow us to investigate changes in subjective perception (the contents of conscious visual awareness) in the absence of any change in sensory stimulation. This allows us to explore how our brains construct an internal representation of the external world.
- Currently I am experimenting with motion-induced blindness, a visual phenomenon in which a moving pattern causes superimposed static targets to intermittently disappear from awareness.
