My research asks how perceptual experience emerges from dynamic interactions among sensory cortex, top-down control systems,
and internal models of the world. I’m especially interested in active processes that shape conscious perception, such as attention,
inference, and model updating.
- Selective attention and neural dynamics: EEG decoding and computational analyses of how attended and ignored object representations evolve.
- Perceptual multistability: mechanisms of perceptual selection and maintenance.
- Psychedelic perception: combining neuroimaging/behavior with large-scale text analysis (NLP/LLMs) of subjective reports to map perceptual effects.
