Testing the "Interrupt Hypothesis": Does startle disrupt cognitive processing?
… role of PPI, positing that PPI occurs to protect processing of a prepulse from the disrupting effect of the startle response. Although these hypotheses have been assumed in the literature for several decades, little empirical support exists to justify the claim. The present study sought to address …

Reference Frames in Human Sensory, Motor, and Cognitive Processing
… reference-frames in human perceptual, motor, and cognitive processing. In the first project, we study reference-frames in perception and develop a model to explain the transition from egocentric (based on the observer) to exocentric (based outside the observer) reference-frames to account for the …
