Research

Colour perception: anomalous trichromacy, tetrachromacy, individual differences, colour channels and colour categories, constancy, the correspondence between colour perception and the colour statistics of natural scenes.

Individual differences in perception: individual differences as a method for determining the connection between different perceptual processes or behavioural measures gathered using different methods, the genetic basis of individual differences in perception.

Spatial and temporal aspects of vision: Troxler fading, simultaneous contrast, dynamic after-effects.
