Research interests

I am interested in vision sciences, just as everybody in this lab is. Specifically, I have been one of motion people--I have been much interested in spatiotemporal interactions of motion, such as induced motion, motion contrast, motion capture, motion assimilation, motion adaptation, motion aftereffect, perceptual filling-in of motion, motion transparency, motion induction, illusory line motion, motion energy model, second-order motion, okay question, how many motions are there in this sentence? Anyway, my interests in vision, especially in motion but also in many other topics, tempted me to get into two or more different academic approaches, i.e. human psychophysics (from phenomenological observation to the method of constant stimuli), nonhuman primate psychophysics (behavioral study), primate electrophysiology (unit recording), computational modelling (simulation), and blah blah blah blah.
