Research interests
- Face processing
- Ensemble coding
- Perceptual averaging
- Statistical summary representations
- Visual memory
I am interested in the cognitive mechanisms underlying processing faces. Specifically, I investigate how a newly encountered face is learned and how ensemble coding (i.e., perceptual averaging) plays a role in becoming familiar with an unfamiliar face.
