Background
I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Adelaide, Australia. My Ph.D. research has been in 2 areas:
Neurobiology of visual motion detecting neurons in flies.
Perceptual artifacts associated with simulating motion on computer monitors
and other apparent motion displays.
Additionally, I have written
a library for producing visual stimuli called the
Vision Egg.
