Introduction
My primary research interests are in spatial navigation and scene perception. By integrating these two domains, I am hoping to further our understanding of how spatial updating that occurs during locomotion to novel viewpoints facilitate visual processing in scene recognition and how level of spatial awareness relate to eye movement patterns. I am using Virtual Reality and Eye Tracking to explore cognitive process that allow efficient interaction with naturalistic stimuli (2D and 3D scenes).

Some objects have specific places where you can expect them to be found (e.g., toothbrush), while others vary widely (e.g., cat). Previous studies have pointed to the importance of the spatial associations between objects and scenes in informing search strategies. However, the assumptions about objects having a specific location that they are typic...

When processing visual scenes, we tend to prioritize information in the foreground, often at the expense of background information. The foreground bias has been supported by data demonstrating that there are more fixations to foreground, and faster and more accurate detection of targets embedded in foreground. However, it is also known that semanti...
Eye movements are often taken as a marker of where attention
is allocated, but it is possible that the attentional window can be
either tightly or broadly focused around the fixation point. Using
target objects whose location could either be strongly predicted by scene context (High Certainty) or not (Low Certainty), we examined how attention was i...
Some objects have a specific place where you can expect them to be found (e.g., toothbrush), while others vary wildly in the places that they can appear (e.g., cat). While previous studies have pointed to the importance of the spatial associations in search in scenes, in the current study we investigated the effects of the variability of expected s...
Scene processing is fundamentally influenced and constrained by spatial layout and spatial associations with objects. However, semantic information has played a vital role in propelling our understanding of real-world scene perception forward. In this article, we review recent advances in assessing how spatial layout and spatial relations influence...
When you walk into a room, you perceive visual information that is both close to you and farther in depth. In the current study, we investigated how visual search is affected by information across scene depth and contrasted it with the effect of semantic scene context. Across two experiments, participants performed search for target objects appeari...
