In order to interact with the world, your brain constructs and sustains its own internal representations of it. Our aim is to understand the nature of these representations and the computations performed on them to achieve behavioural goals. In the lab, we use visual psychophysics and memory tasks, extended reality (XR) technology, eye and body movement recordings, mathematical models and artificial neural networks. We also collaborate with researchers using brain imaging, recording and stimulation, and with neuropsychologists who study cognitive aging, mental illness and neurological disorders... One focus of the lab is on visual working memory. Our ability to recall details of what we have just seen is remarkably limited: rather than a fixed capacity on how many objects we can remember, our work shows that the limit is on the resolution with which visual information can be maintained. Visual memory acts like a resource that can be allocated to important information in our..
