My research focuses on understanding the real-world ramifications and underlying neural mechanisms of visual attention. I study radiologists’ behavior to understand why errors are sometimes made, with the goal of using what we know about attention help reduce the number of errors committed. I also study the neural mechanisms that underlie our ability to represent information using electroencephalograph (EEG). The capacity of visual attention is limited, and my lab uses a variety of methods to study the ramifications of this fact on behavior in a variety of settings.
