Where cognition meets perception
Where cognition meets perception
We study the intersection of cognition and perception, which often means investigating how our sensory systems shape our attention and memory processes.
Our approaches
Our approaches
Behavioural
Behavioural
Most of our studies involve participants completing a perceptually and/or cognitively demanding task on a computer. These studies are experimental, and we often collect accuracy and/or response time as our dependent measures.
Electrophysiological
Electrophysiological
We have a mobile testing station equipped with a high performance computer and monitor, paired with a wireless Emotiv EEG headset and a Tobii eyetracker, designed to complement the behavioural data with brain activity, eye movements, and pupillometry.
Real-world
Real-world
We aim to assess how lab-based findings translate outside the lab and in the classroom. We collect data in classrooms and through online platforms, and we lean into the mobility of our wireless EEG to measure brain activity in more realistic environments.

These are some of projects we are currently thinking about, and could be one of the projects future students could get involved with!
Using cognition to improve perceptual learning.
For instance, we are using mental imagery as a tool to aide in the generalization of perceptual learning to novel stimuli.The memory implications of a fast paced, AI-driven world.
For example, how is our memory for specific content affected when we rely on GenAI in various capacities when we first interact with that content.Identifying evidence-based strategies to help us learn hard things.
For instance, what are the real-world outcomes when engaging in collaborative note-taking or using tools such as PeerWise for student generated questions?
