General Goals: Development of general mathematical theory and methodologies for human perception and cognition: 1. Stochastic processes, probability theory, and mathematical statistics 2. Differential geometry and topology 3. Linear & nonlinear dynamic system theory Major Areas of Investigation: Cognitive psychology and psychophysics including: 1. Visual pattern perception and signal detection 2. Face perception 3. Configurality and gestalt perception vs. separable and independent dimensions and features 4. Human decision and planning behavior 5. Short-term memory and visual search Current and Recent Collaborations: Note: Some of the following scientists participate in more than one area but only appear in one of their most salient contributions. Most if not all, have collaborated in the development of new theory-driven methodology, which we do not list here because of its ubiquity in the lab and number of investigators. 1. Decision Making
2. Gestalt Processing
3. Perception, Psychophysics and Action
4. Riemannian Manifolds
Clinical Science: Development and application of mathematical models to clinical research phenomena 1. General Methodological Approaches To Clinical Science and Especially Schizophrenia
2. Autism Spectrum Disorders
3. Dyslexia
4. Audition, Speech and Hearing
