Vice-chancellor's commendation for a doctoral thesis of exceptional merit, awarded by Macquarie University. Rachel C. In the Active Vision Lab, we study how visual information is used as people make eye and hand movements to interact with the world. Our work is built around three themes:. Understanding how visual information is used to plan and execute interactive movements.

We study how visual information can constrain eye and hand movements. Why is this an important problem? Almost every movement humans make with their hands is goal directed. Most of these movements rely on visual information to determine the goal location, and that hand movement is typically accompanied by an eye movement saccade.

In my postdoctoral years, I demonstrated that vision can play an active role in constraining the movements we make, and that the movements we make also impact our perception e. We are currently investigating how differences in cortical and subcortical processing times can impact motor control e.
