Research Interests

My research focuses broadly on visual perception. Using a combination of brain imaging (e.g., MEG, fMRI), modelling, and behavioural approaches, I study how we make sense of what we see. I use experiments involving occlusion, synaesthesia, and magnitude processing to establish the link between seeing and knowing. How do we know a car still exists when we see it drive behind a bus? What makes a synaesthete see the letter A as red? Or why can dice and Roman numerals so easily convey the same meaning despite being visually dissimilar?
