Visual Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory

Welcome to the Visual Cognitive Neuroscience laboratory at Arizona State University! We study neural and cognitive mechanisms that allow us to maintain the stable visual experience of the world despite noisy sensory representations. We investigate a broad set of research topics, including visual attention, visual working memory, and perceptual decision-making using psychophysics, computational modeling along with EEG/ERPs. Please check here for more details about our work. 

We will be recruiting one or two graduate students for Fall 24. Please contact us to learn more about the opportunity!
