Biographical details

Tatjana studied Psychology at the University of Belgrade, former Yugoslavia, where she completed her BPsych and Masters degree, specializing in perception. She continued to study perception upon her migration to Australia and completed a PhD on spatial vision and vision used in action at the University of New South Wales in 2003.

Tatjana's initial employment at the University of Sydney was at the Faculty of Science, School of Psychology (where she taught perception and research methods), and she is currently at the Faculty of Health Sciences (teaching mainly research methods).

Research interests

Tatjana's own research concerns perception of one's body (somatosensation) and the ways in which vision and somatic senses come together to enable smooth perception of position and movement of ourselves and objects in the environment.

Tatjana is also interested in the application of this research to treatment of clinical conditions where somatosensation and action are impaired.
