Dr. David Huber
Professor
Psychology & Neuroscience

Research Summary

Dave's research focuses on human perception (e.g., visual cognition) and memory from a broad-based, computational perspective. To shed light on these basic cognitive processes, he finds converging evidence from behavioral studies (e.g., accuracy and reaction time measures of decision-making) and cognitive neuroscience measures (e.g., event-related potentials and fMRI) in combination with neural network and Bayesian modeling. Ongoing research topics include binocular rivalry, recognition/recall memory, testing effects, letter/word perception, face perception, semantics, and shifts of attention.
