Welcome to our Lab Page!

We study how attention, memory, and visually guided action work in the Psychology Department at Durham University (UK). To understand how the brain selects, keeps, and uses visual information, we combine methods like high‑speed eye tracking, psychophysics, neurostimulation, and targeted behavioural assessments in both healthy and clinical groups. Our work is grounded in the idea that perception, attention, and memory are dynamic processes shaped for actively engaging with the world.

Our lab is driven by a simple idea: take what we learn about vision in the lab and put it to work in the real world. We adapt classic visual-science tasks to study things that matter outside the lab, like tracking motor and cognitive changes in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s or Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), and we also study how people see and respond to visual art, from basic perceptual processes to aesthetic experience.

If you’d like to get involved, whether as a participant, an undergraduate research assistant, a prospective MSc/PhD student, or a postdoc just get in touch!
