In recent years, the scientific community has called for improvements in the credibility, robustness and reproducibility of research, characterized by increased interest and promotion of open and transparent research practices. While progress has bee... Read More about Teaching open and reproducible scholarship: A critical review of the evidence base for current pedagogical methods and their outcomes.

Test-retest reliability for common tasks in vision science (2022)
Journal Article

Research in perception and attention has typically sought to evaluate cognitive mechanisms according to the average response to a manipulation. Recently, there has been a shift toward appreciating the value of individual differences and the insight g... Read More about Test-retest reliability for common tasks in vision science.

Neural mechanisms underlying enhanced visual search performance in action video game players (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Individuals who play action video games have demonstrated faster response times on a range of cognitive tasks, but various changes across the chain of processing could contribute to the ultimate quickening in response. Some research has begun to iden... Read More about Neural mechanisms underlying enhanced visual search performance in action video game players.

The predictability of a target’s motion influences gaze, head, and hand movements when trying to intercept it (2019)
Journal Article

Does the predictability of a target’s movement and of the interception location influence how the target is intercepted? In a first experiment, we manipulated the predictability of the interception location. A target moved along a haphazardly curved...

Test-retest reliability for common tasks in vision science (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Historically, research in cognitive psychology has sought to evaluate cognitive mechanisms according to the average response to a manipulation. Differences between individuals have been dismissed as “noise” with an aim toward characterising an overal... Read More about Test-retest reliability for common tasks in vision science.

Enhanced visual attention in university hockey players (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Elite athletes exhibit enhanced cognitive abilities related to sport, and athletes' perceptual-cognitive expertise may also transfer to computer-based cognitive tasks in the laboratory (see Voss et al., 2010 for a meta-analysis). The research in this... Read More about Enhanced visual attention in university hockey players.

Visual search alpha: A novel window into lateralized visual attentional processes (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Visual search paradigms evoke the attentional processes used in the identification and processing of a target stimulus in an array of distracting items. A widely studied ERP component elicited in visual search is the N2pc, which is thought to reflect...

Knowing where one will hit a moving object influences eye-head-hand coordination (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Does the predictability of a target's movement and of the interception location influence how the target is intercepted? In a first experiment, we manipulated the predictability of the interception location. A target moved along a haphazardly curved...

Who should be searching? Differences in personality can affect visual search accuracy (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Visual search is an everyday task conducted in a wide variety of contexts. Some searches are mundane, such as finding a beverage in the refrigerator, and some have life-or-death consequences, such as finding improvised explosives at a security...

The role of motion parallax in the perception of egocentric direction (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Prisms optically rotate the visual scene relative to the head, but the error in perceived direction that results is less than the optical deflection of the prism. This is known as the immediate correction effect (Rock, Goldberg, & Mack, 1966). The ef... Read More about The role of motion parallax in the perception of egocentric direction.

Visual search performance is predicted by both prestimulus and poststimulus electrical brain activity (2016)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2016. An individual's performance on cognitive and perceptual tasks varies considerably across time and circumstances. We investigated neural mechanisms underlying such performance variability using regression-based analyses to examin...

Global motion influences the detection of motion-in-depth (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Detecting motion-in-depth is more difficult than detecting equivalent lateral motion (e.g. Tyler, 1971). Because there is an early averaging of left and right motion signals, some work suggests the two monocular signals could effectively cancel out w...

The relational between spatial/motion perception and traits of visual vertigo (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Visually-induced vertigo (‘visual vertigo’) is a condition where certain visual environments trigger dizziness and nausea. It is often attributed to dysfunction in visual-vestibular interaction, but the exact cause is unknown. We were interested in a...

Man vs. Mouse: The act of walking does not alter spatial suppression in humans (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Recently, Ayaz et al. (2013) reported a remarkable finding: surround suppression, as measured by V1 activation in mice, is substantially reduced during locomotion (running in place). Does low-level visual processing change in humans when they are wal... Read More about Man vs. Mouse: The act of walking does not alter spatial suppression in humans.

What can 1 billion trials tell us about visual search? (2015)
Journal Article

Mobile technology (e.g., smartphones and tablets) has provided psychologists with a wonderful opportunity: through careful design and implementation, mobile applications can be used to crowd source data collection. By garnering massive amounts of dat... Read More about What can 1 billion trials tell us about visual search?.

Improvement in visual search with practice: Mapping learning-related changes in neurocognitive stages of processing (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 the authors. Practice can improve performance on visual search tasks; the neural mechanisms underlying such improvements, however, are not clear. Response time typically shortens with practice, but which components of the stimulus–response pro...

Perception and human information processing in visual search (2015)
Book Chapter

© Cambridge University Press 2015. Visual search is the process of finding specific target items within an environment using particular visual features or prior knowledge. Searches can be as easy as finding your friend with purple hair in a lecture h... Read More about Perception and human information processing in visual search.

Thesis

Visual search, the process of detecting relevant items within an environment, is a vital skill required for navigating one’s visual environment as well as for careers, such as radiology and airport security, that rely upon accurate searching. Researc... Read More about Variation in visual search abilities and performance.

I knew you were going to miss that: Predicting future visual search performance from initial search abilities (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A unique data source—hundreds of thousands of individuals who voluntarily played a smartphone game (Airport Scanner; Kedlin Company)—was used to assess predictors of visual search accuracy. Baseline performance was assessed on easy levels at the star... Read More about I knew you were going to miss that: Predicting future visual search performance from initial search abilities.
