My team and I investigate how prior knowledge shapes what we perceive, and how what we perceive becomes memory. We are currently interested in the resolution of perceptual ambiguity, rapid learning from very little experience, and the relationship between perception, prediction and episodic memory.
Can a single experience leave a lasting trace in the brain? Our latest research project studies the content and format of the representations behind one-shot perceptual learning, and how they turn into lasting memories.
In parallel, I like to spend time making open teaching materials and reflecting on how to teach and mentor well.
