Research interests

I have explored the algorithms responsible for perceptual decisions, confidence, and visual search. To do this I have used a variety of computational models with a particular focus on evidence accumulation models, and Bayesian models of cognition. More details on one of these projects "Explaining the effects of distractor statistics in visual search" can be found here.

In Tobias Donner's group I continue to use normative models to understand human behaviour, but I also explore the links between the algorithms specified by such models, and the operation of the brain. Using MEG we are investigating the routing of perceptual information through the brain. We are aiming to relate this routing, and changes in this routing, to computational variables derived from a normative algorithm.
