Welcome to my web page.
I am a Ph.D. graduate student in the Cognitive Psychology Program working in
the Perception, Ecological
Action, and Robotics Lab (PEARL)
under the direction of
Dr.
Mike McBeath.
My research interests are concerned with the mechanisms involved with
perceptual learning and information processing in the lower levels of the
visual system. Specifically, I am investigating the relation between
processing in the dorsal stream pathway of the human primary visual system
and reading ability in normal readers and the reading disabled.
Moreover, I am exploring a new methodology to measure ventral and dorsal
stream processing with several newly designed devices and procedures that
will assess a person's ability to process sensory information in the lower
visual cortex. Once completed I hope to use these new methodologies to
independently target the magnocellular and parvocellular systems and
determine the range of perceptual functions affected by this region of the
brain.
