Project

My research focuses mainly on understanding the imperfections of our visual perception and how it can differ from the physical reality. To do so I am extensively researching visual illusions, a phenomenon that offers a unique window to understanding how our perception works. My previous projects have investigated how the perception of visual illusions is affected by development, genetics, mental health disorders, like schizophrenia or autism, and visual expertise. Lately, I became interested in the methodological differences in research on visual illusions as well as eye movements while observing visual illusions. My PhD project will be a continuation of my previous research and I will expand into new disorders like dementia and Parkinson’s, as well as incorporate new research methods into my research
