Key Research Interests
Research
My research centres around visual attention and scene understanding. I interested in learning how we convert visual sensory information into a semantic concepts like a scene's category and how we then use this information to direct our gaze. More recently, I have started investigating how children process and understand their visual world differently to adults.
I predominantly use eye-tracking, but also use virtual reality (VR), drawing, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
