Projects within the Cognition And Perception Program
Cognition/Perception: The cognition/perception group undertakes research that currently includes a strong emphasis on visual cognition (e.g., attention and visual neglect, face and object processing, reading and dyslexia), as well as early visual processing (motion and depth perception), memory (including implicit memory, false memory and metamemory), hemipsheric lateralisation and interaction, and motor control. Research methods include a mix of behavioural experiments and neuroimaging studies in neurologically normal participants, and neuropsychological studies of people with various cognitive and perceptual disorders. Research supervision is available for projects in all these areas, in some cases involving children as well as adults.
Cognition and cognitive neuropsychology
Cognition and cognitive neuropsychology including visual attention; unilateral neglect. My research interests are aimed at understanding visual attentional processes, both in neurologically-intact individuals and in people with unilateral neglect, that is, people who fail to orient or respond to events or people on one side of their world following a unilateral brain lesion.

Face and object recognition
Cognitive psychology including face and object recognition; memory. My primary research interests are in face and object recognition, focussing on the theoretical origin of the special cognitive and neural processing received by faces.

Cognitive Neuroscience
Cognitive neuroscience including reading; dyslexia; attention; neuroimaging. In general my research interests include reading, language and reading disorders such as dyslexia. I am also interested in visual attention such as models of early attentional processes, particularly in the context of reading. I am also interested in multi-modal integration and synaesthesia.

Perception
Perception including motion perception; stereoscopic depth perception. Specific research themes include: the interaction between various pathways at different levels in the visual system; the perception of motion transparency and the interaction between neighbouring depth surfaces in stereo processing.
