Dr Andrew Meso PhD

Biography

My research looks at human vision and eye movements. I am interested in how individual sensitivity and patterns of eye movements reveal computational principles applied within the sensory and motor brain. Using models to test and unpack these processing rules can reveal unexpected influences on perception and improve our understanding of how things can go wrong.

My teaching mainly covers two areas:

• The first is a course that aims to develop in neuroscientists 'The Principles of Transparent and Reproducible Research'.
• The second is a quantitative and computational skills course titled 'Statistics, Coding and Mathematics for Scientists'.

Please see my Research Staff Profile for more detail.
