Research interests:
I'm interested in how they way we move influences what we see and how we subsequently act, on several different time scales. On a short time scale, how eye movements influence the immediate contents of visual perception by guiding visual attention and generating remapping; how just executed or upcoming saccades are incorporated into sequence planning; how trans-saccadic perception leads to visual stability. On a longer time scale, how errors in saccadic precision lead to adaptive changes in future saccades. I'm also interested in how our knowledge about how objects change, or don't change, across eye movements, leads us to tolerate some errors but not others. Finally, I'm interested in the interaction between saccadic success and behavioral value.
