I am looking to recruit new graduate students to join my lab in Fall 2021. Check the web pages for Psychological Sciences for details on our graduate program and how to apply for admission; doctoral students are provided five years (12 months per year) of guaranteed support (stipend, tuition, health insurance).
My laboratory currently focuses on two interrelated lines of research.
One line of work examines visual object recognition, categorization, and the development of perceptual expertise in humans using behavioral experiments (laboratory and online), computational modeling, and cognitive neuroscience techniques; some of this work has been in collaboration with Isabel Gauthier and her laboratory. Some of my current work uses a combination of cognitive models and deep learning convolutional neural network models.
The other line of work develops and tests cognitive and neural models of visual attention, selection, categorization, and decision making that explain the dynamics of behavior in human and monkeys, electrophysiology in humans and monkeys, and neurophysiology in monkeys; much of this work has been in collaboration with Jeffrey Schall and Gordon Logan.
