Research interests
My main line of research is on the functional interpretation of the ventral-dorsal split in the human visual system. You can read some early ideas in my TICS paper and our recent empirical contribution in this Cortex paper. Aside from that, I have been interested in many things, including multisensory processes, surface color, layout, motion, and in visual tools for exploratory data analysis and data presentation. Recently, I also became very interested in using selfies to study compositional choices in the visual arts and perhaps even learn something about their brain basis.
