Research Focus
Broadly, I am interested in the perceptual processes that enable us to coordinate with others. For example, how we understand actions, or how social contexts might modulate our perception of our surroundings.
Most of my work is experimental, but I also use meta-analysis to test theoretical accounts of widely studied phenomena.
Current Projects
Predictive processing of joint actions
ongoingPredictive processing accounts of action understanding propose that we use a range of predictive cues to understand others’ actions. We investigate whether observers similarly integrate others' social contexts during action understanding.
