Biography

My research explores how humans extract information from the environment to learn to effectively interact within it. As you might expect, this phenomenon depends on a complex interplay of the attention, memory, and cognition systems. While these systems are essential to our daily lives, there is still much to learn about how they operate. I employ experimental methods that evaluate eye movement, brain electrophysiology, and behaviour.
