Biography
Research Interests
My research primarily examines the relationship between visual attention and visual consciousness, and the perception of the material properties of objects.
In 1999 I discovered that prompting neurological patients to attend to areas in which they were blind because of brain damage could improve their ability to respond accurately to stimuli of which they were unaware - attention operating independently of awareness. This contradicted the view held by many psychologists and philosophers that attention was the ‘gateway’ to consciousness. I followed this up with studies showing similar dissociations between attention and awareness in a variety of types of attention in neurotypical observers.
In 2014 I showed that the perception of colour as a property of objects in the world occurs independently of having an experience of colour. An example of the concept of object-colour is our ability to know the colour of something, say a bus, regardless of whether it is in blueish shade or it is being illuminated by bright yellow direct sunlight (or any other natural light). The fact that my colleagues and I could show that the visual system held a representation of object-colour even when we had used a ‘masking’ technique to prevent people from consciously experiencing colour, was at odds with long-held philosophical and scientific views, dating from Aristotle to the present-day, that we estimate the properties of things in the world by drawing inferences from our experience.
I continue to collaborate with philosophers in exploring these findings and, in some cases, have managed to convince them to change their views!
I am very fortunate to have been made a fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) in their programme on Brain, Mind and Consciousness in recognition of the work I’ve just described. This CIFAR fellowship funds much of my ongoing work on the nature of consciousness.
I greatly enjoy work outside the typical scope of my bread and butter - the psychology of vision. I have been working, very much as the junior partner, with my colleague Prof. Dorothy Cowie, on the ways in which children develop understanding of the structure of their own bodies as they grow and their abilities to use their bodies to perform actions. Much of this work has involved experiments using virtual reality to test the effects of novel experiences in both children and adults. Something that all our participants seem to enjoy, and be fascinated by, no matter what their ages!
I have also been using virtual reality in work with archaeologists on the origins of art and the mental lives of our distant ancestors. Prof. Paul Pettitt, from the Archaeology Department, and I have been leading a ‘Paleopsychology’ group in Durham where we apply methods from experimental psychology to test hypotheses about the influences psychological factors may have had on the location and content of Palaeolithic art. We have been collaborating with colleagues in Germany on an Anglo-German (AHRC/DFG) funded project on art in an ancient meeting place on the banks of the river Rhine. We recently mounted a public ‘PaleoVision’ exhibition at the Schloss Monrepos Museum in Neuwied, Germany, where much of the artwork from this site is displayed. My archaeological collaboration allowed me to become part of a team who showed that abstract marks accompanying cave art depicting animals, made 35,000 years ago, formed a code representing information about the time of year those animals gave birth and mated – excitingly, the earliest permanent symbolic representation of information, if not quite ‘writing’.
