Perception, Attention & Control Lab Announcements & PACcolades Becky will be presenting her poster, "People are sensitive to distractor motion in multiple object tracking," on Sunday, May 13, 8:15am - 12:15pm. Hyunyoung
will be presenting her poster, "Updating visual working memory is both
object-based and feature-selective," on Saturday, May 12, 2:45 - 6:30pm.
Welcome! The PAC lab explores how people see and direct their attention to moving objects. The ability to follow the movement of multiple objects is an important skill for many activities, such as driving through a busy intersection, keeping up with your friends at an amusement park, or watching a football game. Our methods include human psychophysics, eyetracking, virtual reality and human neuroimaging (fMRI). We investigate research questions such as: How does attention track object movement? What is the neural implementation of this process? Why do errors in tracking occur? How is attention involved when people control the motion of objects?The long-term objective of this work is to understand how visual attention interacts with motion perception and visuo-motor systems to track the motion of target objects. Funding is provided by the National Eye Institute of the National Institutes of Health. [ top ] |
