We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Perceptual Structure and Visual Feature Integration
The project will investigate how the human visual system correctly integrates information about different stimulus attributes. Previous work in the field has attempted to isolate the basic stimulus features used by the visual system, but has ignored the problem of how these features are correctly combined in perception. In these experiments, normal adult subjects will be briefly presented with a number of stimuli that can be described in terms of independent attributes, such as shape and color. The main dependent variable will be the errors that subjects make in combining information about these features (i.e. report shapes and colors in incorrect combinations). The research tests the proposal that the visual system uses information about perceptual structure for feature integration. The hypothesis is that features within different perceptual units are constrained by the visual system from combining. This hypothesis will be tested with perceptual units defined in three ways: 1. By Gestalt principles; 2. By subjective organization; 3. By linguistic structure in letter strings. In addition, the research will use errors in feature integration to investigate a number of questions about perceptual structure and information processing within each stimulus domain. For example, the first section of the proposal will investigate the cause of visual hidden-figures effects, and the relation between figure-ground organization and spatial attention. The second section of the proposal investigates the role of experience on perceptual organization. The final section of the proposal uses the feature integration of paradigm to study functional units in work perception such as syllables, consonant clusters, etc. An understanding of how the visual system normally integrates information has relevance in two health related areas. First, visual agnosia can be thought of as an extreme case of a failure to correctly combine stimulus features. Understanding feature integration in normal adults may shed light on this pathology. Second, this research is relevant to the problem of dyslexia and reading acquisition. Dyslexia may be related to a failure to appreciate constraints on the combinations of features into letters, or letters into words.

Perceptual Structure &Visual Feature Integration
This project will examine how the visual system assigns colors to objects and locations in three different experimental paradigms. In the illusory conjunction paradigm, subjects sometimes perceive briefly presented colors and shapes in incorrect combinations. For example, a stimulus array containing a red X and blue H, when briefly presented (e.g. 100ms), will sometimes be perceived as containing a blue X. In the neon colors lines. The final paradigm involves the assignment of colors to objects in peripheral vision. A common theoretical framework can be applied to all three paradigms. The hypothesis is that the visual system integrates (combines) information over perceptual units. Perceptual units are defined in three broad ways. 1. Perceptual units are defined by the geometric properties of surfaces such that color information is integrated over adjacent areas or areas that are coherent in the Gestalt sense. 2. Units are affected by attention so that the assignment of color to objects can be cognitively penetrable. 3. With word and word-like stimuli made of colored letters, units are defined by the linguistic properties of letter string. In addition to looking at the effects of perceptual structure (units) in the three paradigms, it will be possible to directly compare the paradigms in terms of color psychophysics. Preliminary research indicates that the process of integrating information may be the same across the three paradigms. In understanding these phenomenon, both cognitive factors and basic visual processes will be considered.
