| When we attend to an object or event, there is a diverse set of mechanisms and processes in operation. My current research involves the study of the multi-faceted nature of attention, with a specific focus on the interactions between different attentional "types" (e.g. Spatial vs Temporal attention) and comparing the role of attention across different attentional paradigms (e.g. Cueing/Visual Search vs Attentional Blink). My Bachelors degree was in Psychology (B.Psych(Hons)), also at the University of Sydney. | |||||||||||||||||||||
