The Perception and Attention Research laboratory is focused on how different types of expertise, brain injury, or illness can modulate information processing. In order to address these important questions related to human cognition I use a variety of applied and laboratory based approaches, I use a variety of applied and laboratory based approaches, as well as incorporating both healthy and brain injured participants.
