My research training began in the perceptual domain under the advising of Dr. Laurence T. Maloney at NYU, taking a Bayesian approach to investigate how the visual system incorporates prior knowledge and experience to form complete percepts from incomplete sensory information as reported in psychophysical tasks involving visual completion (e.g., through extrapolation or interpolation). During my first post-doc under the supervision of Dr. Paul Schrater at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, I received training in reinforcement learning and other computer science techniques and applied them to better understand and model behavior in extrapolation tasks similar to those I had studied earlier. In that work, I developed a computational framework for predicting which of two basic decision-making strategies will be utilized by human subjects - 1) simple stimulus-response mappings or 2) predictive models and the factors that influence the learning of those strategies. In a second post-doc under the supervision of Dr. Bas Rokers at the UW - Madison, I expanded my investigations of human visual extrapolation into the virtual reality domain where I could leverage the more “life-like” presentation of stimuli. Through that work, I have further uncovered the role (and in some cases, the consequences) of prior knowledge and experience in human visual perception. Currently, my research with Dr. Brad Postle is focused on cognitive neuroscience, with the goal of understanding the neural correlates of visual working memory. The skills and training that I am developing through this current work have been an exciting and critical component in my thinking about, and future plans for, further study of visual completion tasks, which inherently rely on working memory.
