My main research is on experiences of absence in perception, emotion, and culture. I investigate how these experiences operate in different cognitive domains, how they affect our minds and our lives, and what they mean for us as humans.

​

My second line of research is on perception of uncertainty. How is uncertainty manifest in our experience? Is it probabilistic in nature? Do we always aim to reduce uncertainty?  I am interested in the applications of probabilistic models of cognition to normal perception and anomalous conscious states.
