David Souto, PhD
Glad you are there. You will find in this pages some of my published work, and hopefully, in a near future, some eye-catching demonstrations that will illustrate my research and personal interests in some way (cabinet of curiosities).
I am currently a visiting postdoc at the department of Cognitive, Perceptual and Brain sciences at the University College London.

Research outline
Many applications can follow from the fact that we can predict the depth of information processing by knowing where people look. Eye movements are, to some extent, an overt expression of our inner plans, as well as of our tendency to be distracted by transient events - like the ads that pop-up sometimes when you visit a web-site. My published work focus on the limits of the assumption that we attend where we look, by testing our ability to attend to objects in the periphery while directing our eyes elsewhere (see Publications).
I recently was awarded a fellowship from the Swiss National Science Foundation to work on apparent motion in Alan Johnston's lab.
