Overview

A central question in much of my work is: "What do we see?" When vision or perception is discussed in textbooks, we find pages and pages about processing "low-level" properties such as color, orientation, or motion. But in my work, I aim to push our understanding of visual processing, exploring how perception may also extract traditionally "higher-level" concepts (e.g. in intuitive physics and unfinishedness) and complex dynamic properties (such as navigational affordances).

• Seeing Intuitive Physics

  When viewing static scenes, do we extract the underlying physics? Even spontaneously?

• Spontaneous Visual Routines

  Navigational affordances meet visual routines: case studies in mazes and beyond

• Percieving "Unfinishedness"

  A new visual "Zeigarnik Effect": sensitivity to unfinishedness even despite task-irrelevance

• Miscellaneous Research Projects

  Ranging from time perception ("Oddball Effect"), to statistical learning, and to the letter "G"!
