Applications for a spot in the lab for undergraduate thesis
supervision for 2008-09 were only considered from students who have
spent significant periods of time in my lab in 2007-08. I have already
agreed to supervise all eligible students and I won't consider
applications from any other students.
2009-10: I will not be eligible to
supervise theses in the 2009-10 academic year as I will no longer be
full-time faculty in the department.
Courses :-) - why?

All course websites are mounted on York's moodle system. Go
to http://moodle.yorku.ca/ and log
in using your Passport York user-name and password, and check "My courses"
in the top right-hand corner. If you have just registered for a course,
you will need to give the system some time to update (up to several days).

Neural
representations of the visual world are, to a greater extent, based on a
spatiotopic system – objects next to each other in the visual world are
represented next to each other in the brain. It has been argued that
stimulus location is qualitatively different to other object attributes
and therefore ‘special’. However, we interact with objects, not the visual
location/spaces which they occupy. While, visual attention can be directed
to a spatial location, it can also be allocated to an object attribute,
regardless of where it appears in the visual field. It is questionable
whether stimulus location simply plays a ‘special’ role in our theoretical
conceptualizations of sensory processing, or has some meaningful primacy
in biological systems. Using ERP, eye-movement monitoring and manual
responses techniques with adults and individuals with congenital disorders
I explore the relationship between space and objects in the domains of
perception, attention and social cognition.
My previous work has
included examining object-based inhibition of return, perception of
biological motion and faces. I am also interested in how genetic
deficits affect the development of spatial cognition in a number of
congenital disorders.
