I study the brain because it is the seat not of the self, but of all that exists. My interest in the brain started as a few questions: Why do we experience the world the way we do? Why do personal experiences of the world differ, although we all have the same biological basis for perceiving it? I consider that these questions are the basis for understanding how beings with complex neural systems interact with each other and with the environment that surrounds them.
My focus for the moment is investigating how the visual system directs behaviour to objects in the visual scene by using attentional sampling, especially for reading.
