Cognitive and Perceptual Psychology

The cognition and perception group at the ANU conducts research, research supervision, and teaching in a range of core areas within human cognition and perception. Our research includes a strong emphasis on visual cognition (e.g., attention and visual neglect, face and object processing, reading and dyslexia), as well as early visual processing (motion and depth perception), memory (including implicit memory, false memory and metamemory), hemipsheric lateralisation and interaction, and motor control. Research methods include a mix of behavioural experiments and neuroimaging studies in neurologically normal participants, and neuropsychological studies of people with various cognitive and perceptual disorders. Research supervision is available for projects in all these areas, in some cases involving children as well as adults.

Members of the group currently hold Australian Research Council Discovery Project Grants, and Elinor McKone is a Queen Elizabeth II Research Fellow. Details of publications, and contact details for individual researchers, can be found via the links to individual researchers' websites below.
