We use eye-tracking and behavioral research methods to study human visual attention and visual cognition. Our research investigates the influences on when, where, and how we allocate our visual attention, particularly in the context of real-world scenes. We examine how tasks or goals, memories, and visual environments influence how we perceive and reason about our visual surroundings. We also investigate the mechanisms that support the perception of a stable visual world across eye movements and the relationship between eye movements, visual attention, and visual working memory.
