Publications and conference presentations

This page brings together journal articles, preprints, dissertation work, and conference activity across visual working memory, ensemble perception, serial dependence, scene understanding, and interdisciplinary collaborations.

Institutions I have collaborated with across these publications and projects

Overview

Core topics

Memory

My work shows that working memory representations are not fully holistic and are shaped by binding errors, memory load, and recent perceptual history.

Ensembles

Across ensemble studies, I show that visual summaries rely on mid-level structure, spatial regularities, and context rather than simple item-by-item averaging.

Scenes and search

These studies show that perception is shaped by context: scenes guide object-state memory, sounds can change what people see, and search is biased by meaning and threat.

Other

Earlier interdisciplinary work outside the main cognitive and UX research themes.
