My research interests are in how visual information is processed. I have published several papers on how written words, objects and faces are recognised and represented in the brain and in artificial neural networks (i.e., AI).  More recently, I was involved in a project investigating how self-motion (e.g., walking or driving) impacts target detection in early visual pathways.  My current research with Dr Philippa Howard at the University of Bristol uses eye-tracking to investigate whether there are differences in inferential processing between autistic and non-autistic adults during reading.
