About
My research interests cover many aspects of visual cognition, attentional control, and cognitive empathy.
I am particularly interested in:
- The broad implications of attentional control in both everyday functioning (e.g., in driving) and how it varies in particular groups (e.g., those high in psychopathy).
- The cognitive processes underlying empathy (cognitive and affective) and its measurement.
- The temporal dynamics of attention and the impact of different neural channels on those temporal dynamics.
