Personal profile
Research areas
Primary interests involve computational modeling of perceptual and cognitive systems with neural networks. Recent research has linked the temporal properties of a neural network model for visual perception with psychophysical and neurophysiological data on dynamic human vision and visual afterimages. Another primary interest explores statistical issues in experimental psychology, especially publication bias. A secondary research interest explores methods of applying quantitative models of cognition to the design of human-computer interfaces. A tertiary research interest is the development of Internet activities for teaching psychology and statistics.
