Homo Integralis 1: Motion perception for moving observers

The perception of motion and movement has been studied for a long time, often under very controlled conditions, in dark rooms, with the head stabilised. However, human perception mo more...

Homo Integralis 3: Adaptation to (transparent) motion and a moving observer

Motion perception is inherently related to adaptation, and multiple sites of motion adaptation exist along the pathway(s) of visual motion processing. Motion transparency under cond more...

Homo Integralis 2: Transparent motion and the moving observer

Transparent motion or motion transparency is still a rather badly understood phenomenon. One can create spatial motion transparency and temporal motion transparency. The second part more...

Cross-adaptation of visual and auditory motion and psychophysical receptive fields for multisensory motion

This project will build on recent work in our lab using a genetic algorithm (GA) to determine spatiotemporal receptive fields for translating visual motion. Pilot work shows the the more...

Integration of visual and tactile information

Touch and vision often work together in our perception of objects around us. This project will examine orientation and spatial frequency tuning in touch and vision and study how the more...

Visual speed perception during active and passive self-motion

This project will study how rotation of an observer affects factors such as speed perception and allocation of attention. It will compare passive rotation on a motion platform with more...

Modulation of attention and perception during action

The project examines how active motion of an observer modulates perception. The project will study walking observers, and continuously measure their visual performance to examine ho more...

Dynamic re-weighting of multisensory cues

The Bayesian Maximum Likelihood model provides a good description of how sensory information is combined. This project will use a new continuous-measurement technique to measure sen more...

Signal processing in the visual system

Research in my laboratory focuses on signal processing in the visual system. I use three methodologies - computational modelling, the analysis of existing neuronal data, and human p more...
