Humans have two forward facing eyes that see a slightly different version of the world around us. These slight differences in the two retinal images are used to obtain depth information about a visual scene. Conventionally, it has been assumed that points in one retinal image that do not have corresponding points in the other image are treated as noise. However, if one object is partially occluded by another, monocular points and regions occur.

Under the supervision of Professor Julie Harris I investigate how information in these monocular regions is treated by the visual system by studying differences in how monocular regions and binocular regions are perceived and attended to.

I am currently one of the PG reps and organise the PG-Journal Club and the Lunchtime-Python Study Group. If you would like to be put on the JC email list or want to join us for Lunchtime-Python, please send me an email or find me in the Lilac Room.
