Personal profile
Biography
Kevin is a Research Fellow in the School of Psychological Sciences studying the mechanisms of perceptual decision-making, decision-making differences associated with ADHD, and the role of expectation in perceptual processing. He uses electroencephalography, psychophysics, and computational modelling to understand the transformation of sensory signals into meaningful perceptual experience and adaptive behaviour.
