| Areas of expertise | My PhD research investigated the use of pupil dilation as a measure of processing load, particularly with visual input while avoiding confounds associated with the pupil’s visual reflexes. I am also interested in studying eye movement patterns and psychophysical methods. I use these techniques to investigate various aspects of how visual information is processed and how attentional resources are allocated. My current work focuses on how such processes are compromised in healthy ageing and with the onset of dementia. |
