Studies human behaviour using eye tracking, body tracking, computers

Areas of expertise

We study how people process information — visual, auditory and social — and its impact on behaviour. A major aim of our research is to use naturalistic settings and sometimes specialized equipment (eye trackers, motion trackers) to learn about how people think and act in the complex settings we encounter every day in the real world.
