We are a cognitive neuroscience laboratory focused on studying human visual perceptual processes such as perceptual grouping, figure-ground organisation, perceptual ambiguity, and visual illusions. We use a range of techniques including psychophysics, EEG, brain stimulation, and studies of patients with neurological conditions.

Where is Keele?
We are based in the green West Midlands of England near Stoke-on-Trent less than an hour by train from Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham and 1.5 hours from London. We are also only a short drive from the Peak District National Park and Snowdonia in Wales.
