About
Professor at the Durham University Department of Psychology. I study human perception and action using perceptual and visuomotor tasks, sometimes in immersive virtual reality. A major interest is understanding how perceptual-motor computations change during development and learning by comparing performance with quantitative models. A major current research programme is on learning perception with new sensory signals. Before coming to Durham I completed my undergraduate and PhD degrees at Oxford and UCL, was a post-doc at Oxford, UCL, and Birkbeck, and a Principal Investigator at UCL (CV / resume)
