Empirical studies of human information processing: short-term visual memory systems, attention, visual perception, and 3D object recognition. Mathematical, computational, and neural models of visual processes: light adaptation, temporal sensitivity, contrast detection, motion and texture perception, stereopsis, and attention. Brain imaging: EEG, MEG, fMRI.
