Research interests
Most of my recent work is on the functional interpretation of the ventral-dorsal split [some early ideas in this paper] in the human visual system and on multisensory processes involving vision and touch [see Mind Hack #104]. I am also interested in the perception of surface color, layout, and motion [see tutorial], and in visual tools for exploratory data analysis and data presentation.
