Change Detection Research Interests
My change detection research includes neural models of how attention within the What cortical processing stream is involved in generating the type of coherence that Rensink and others have described, how visual information can influence priming without becoming conscious, how transient responses activate the Where cortical processing stream and thereby attract attention to themselves, how cortical representations are formed and reset under natural viewing conditions, how visual search is controlled by interactions of spatial and object attention processes with visual boundary and surface representations, and how attention is involved in determining where the eyes move next.

Other Research Interests
Neural models of vision, audition, language, learning and memory, reward and motivation, cognition, development, sensory-motor control, mental disorders, applications.
