Research Interests
Auditory, visual, and cross-modal perception, psychology of art, the structure of lives, and the philosophy of mind.
Research Description
In the lab I study auditory and visual perception in normal adults. Outside the lab I study the psychology of art , and I am developing a theory of pleasure. Here are some of the ongoing projects in the lab.
