We study the intersection of cognition and perception, which often means investigating how our sensory systems shape our attention and memory processes.
Most of our studies involve participants completing a perceptually and/or cognitively demanding task on a computer. These studies are experimental, and we often collect accuracy and/or response time as our dependent measures.
We have a mobile testing station equipped with a high performance computer and monitor, paired with a wireless Emotiv EEG headset and a Tobii eyetracker, designed to complement the behavioural data with brain activity, eye movements, and pupillometry.
We aim to assess how lab-based findings translate into the real world. To that end, we collect large online datasets to confirm our own smaller lab-based findings; we lean into the mobility our wireless EEG lets us measure brain activity in more realistic environments.
