My current research focuses on the relation between perception and cognition. I am particularly interested in cognitive penetration, the hypothesis that cognition can influence perception in certain way. My work seeks to investigate its potential mechanism and philosophical implications. I’m also drawn to topics such as perceptual learning and attentional effects in philosophy of cognitive science.
