Interests:
I keep an unwavering interested in how our visual system deals with ongoing dynamic stimulation as we experience it in our everyday lives.
I also undertake frequent excursions into the areas of multi-sensory processing, intrinsic brain rhythms and, most recently, relationships between rhythmic brain activity and other physiological signals (pupil diameter, for example).
My methods of choice are the “fast” neuroimaging techniques EEG & MEG and eye tracking.
Stirling’s Mobile Cognition focus allows me to take my neuroimaging research out of the lab and into the “real world”.
