Research Topics

Exploration of abstract cognitive processes 

Scientists in the Visual Cognition Research Group use detailed and concrete knowledge of the visual system as a solid foundation upon which to strengthen understanding of more abstract cognitive processes. Specific research topics include visual attention, visual memory, visual scene perception and oculomotor control.
