Lab Manager

I am interested in researching human visual attention, with a specific interest in how we interact with the outside world, and our social sensitivity to other’s actions. Specifically, I study misokinesia (‘hatred of movements’) which is a psychological phenomenon currently absent from scientific research. I created the www.misokinesia.ca website to help raise awareness, and study misokinesia.

I love learning how to code! I taught myself MATLAB when I joined this lab about 5 years ago, and have now successfully completed the ‘Creating Experiments in PsychoPy’ workshop hosted by Open Science Tolls, which was a three (3) days of full-time intensive training in research methods and programming in PsychoPy, Python, and Pavlovia. I’m eager to see what more I can learn in the future!
