This
is the homepage of the Visual Perception Lab in the Department
of Psychology at the University of
Liverpool. By testing human performance in simple visual tasks, we
want to find out more about how physical stimulation of our senses turns
into our perceptual experience of the surrounding environment, as well
as how visual stimulation guides our actions. Of particular interest is
the adaptiveness of such processes, both in the short term (recalibration)
and in evolutionary terms.
