The School of Psychology is seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work on an ESRC-funded research project entitled 'The timecourse of utilising high-level information in scene perception'. The project is based in the Active Vision Laboratory (www.activevisionlab.org/) and is led by Dr Ben Tatler.
The aim of the research is to understand how we use different sources of information in a scene to guide where we look. In particular we are interested in whether scene context and target template information are utilised simultaneously or sequentially when we first encounter a scene. We will consider the functional goal of the visual system when utilising target template and scene context information in order to gain insights into the situations in which each of these sources of information is utilised. These findings will allow insights into the moment-to-moment decision-making processes as we search natural images for a target object.
The successful applicant will be responsible for eye movement data collection, analysis and dissemination of outcomes through publications and conference presentations.
