Richard DewhurstPost-doctoral Researcher, Lund University.
I completed my PhD on training eye movements at the University of Nottingham in 2009 (thesis title: Evaluating strategies for visual search and stimulus discrimination - implications for trianing eye movements). Prior to this I also obtained my MSc, with distinction, in Psychological Research Methods from the University of Nottingham. I studied for my bachelors degree at the University of Wales, Bangor, where I received a BSc in Pychology with 1st class hons. Throughout my studies and research training I have developed strong interests visual attention, cognition, and perception. More specifically, I have a particular interest in eye movement control and how it changes with experience and learning. I have recently received funding from the Swedish Research Council to extend my PhD work in this area as a post-doctoral researcher at Lund University, Humanities Lab.
Research
I have research interests in eye movement control, and this also spans cognitive neuroscience. I am presently pursuing two projects in my current role. Firstly, I am working towards combining eye movement recordings with EEG to investigate how selective attention develops. Secondly, in collaboration colleagues, I am evaluating a new algorithm for comparing scanpaths (eye-movement sequences).

Other tasks and qualifications
I will be teaching a new course on Experimental Design, beginning February 2012 (see links, right).
