My primary research interests involve how basic visual processes interact with higher-level aspects of perception, and visual aesthetics that influence other aspects of visual processing. The topics of my interest include high-level processes like attention, visual memory and consciousness, and social and emotional processing of visual information as in, for instance, human faces. As I pursue my career in such a research area, I would like to contribute to the understanding of the cognitive process which underlies artistic creation and reactions to artworks and provide my own insights into the complex problem of how people respond to their visual environments.
