I am a cognitive psychologist with broad interests in auditory, visual, and cross-modal perception, psychology of art, and philosophy of mind (view CV here). You may think of me as a neo-Gestalt psychologist who uses tools of cognitive science experiments using human observers, mathematical analysis of patterns, and mathematical modeling of data to solve some of the enduring puzzles of perceptual organization. In recent years, I have developed a theory called 'Structure of Lives,' which applies figure/ground perception to the global organization of our lives. Previously, I taught in the cognitive area of UVa's Psychology Department, working with graduate students on a variety of perceptual issues.
