Detailed Research Description:
The Visual Perception and Attention Lab is focused on understanding how the brain, which processes different features in different areas, can bind those features into a perceptual unit: the object, and select that object for perception or action. Current projects include:
- the relative strengths of different features in forming an object representation
- spatial attention
- inhibition of return
- object-based attention
- cross-modal attention
