Dr Michelle To
LecturerResearch Overview
I am interested in how the sensory system processes complex natural stimuli, such as photographs, movies, music and language. More specifically, my research investigates how human observers perceive differences and how different features from the sensory environment are integrated. In addition, I have also studied visual perception in the extreme peripheral field.
In a nutshell, the main topics I am interested include:
- Natural stimuli perception
- Feature integration
- Cross-modal integration
- Visual perception in the far and extreme periphery
