Change Detection Research Interests
My interest in change detection derives from more general interests in visual representations of the visual world, the deployment of attention over time, and the role of attention in masking. Together with my colleague Vince Di Lollo, I have proposed a theory of masking by object substitution that has implications for phenonemona such as the attentional blink, inattentional blindness, and change blindness.

Other Research Interests
visual attention, computational vision, perceptual development
