Research interests
I am interested in how experience shapes the way we perceive and recognize objects in our environment. My research uses behavioral methods to examine the perceptual strategies supporting perceptual expertise as well as neurophysiological methods (i.e., EEG) to study its underlying neural mechanisms.
