Psychology Research Interests

My interest lies in understanding human behaviour as a result of the input, processing and output of the brain. I do this by analysing our primary sensory system, the vision system. Much of our cortex processes visual information and our vision has co-evolved with our ‘human’ characteristics, such as contemplation and planning. I compare both our conscious perceptions and our motor responses to visual stimulation, in light of their neural substrates, to understand (i) the guidance of our motor responses and (ii) the function and nature of our visual consciousness.
