Participant Spotlight

Anna Brooks, Southern Cross University

Research area: Psychology - Intersensory processing

Research conducted within the Laboratory of Perceptual Processing, of which I am co-director, focuses primarily on the intra- and intersensory processing of biological motion (BM) cues. The group is currently running a raft of projects related to visual, auditory and tactile processing of BM cues in healthy and clinical human samples. In addition it is involved in studies involving non-human species. Our data facilitate the development/testing of theories and models of the neural correlates of BM processing, and allow for ongoing development of novel applications to areas including performance on the sporting field.
