Research

The majority of research in the lab falls into six themes:

• Visual Perception: Underlying Processes

  Visual perception seems effortless but how does it actually occur? What are the underlying processes?

• Visual Expertise: Perceptual Training

  In the medical domain, experts are often required to make diagnoses by viewing medical images. How did they gain their visual expertise?

• Behaviour Change

  People often display a range of unhelpful behaviours. How can we “nudge” people to help them adopt more beneficial behaviours?

• Decision Making

  Why do people make the decisions that they do? What influences these decisions?

• Pedagogical Research

  How can we help our students learn better?

• Object Tracking

  Humans live in a dynamic world. How are we able to keep track of what is where?
