Research Interests
Our perceptual experience of things and events connects us to people and the world we live in. Attention and perception are two fundamental aspects of the mind that synthesize our experience of seeing and thinking in our daily lives. I am interested in studying the underlying mechanisms of attention and perception, and their implications in real-world situations.
Research Description
I am currently working with Dr. Daniel Simons to study selective attention on inattentional blindness – the phenomenon of our ability to attend to relevant information exclusively and ignore distractions.
