Personal profile
Personal profile
My research focuses on neurodiversity and neurodivergent culture. I am interested in several different areas including:
- ND friendships and relationships
- ND identity
- ADHD masking
- ND in Higher Eduction
I have also researched visual perception and how our brains understand the visual world around us, including:
- How camouflage undermines the visual system.
- How colour and luminance cues are combined.
- The influence of colour on visual discomfort.
- Human locomotion
- Symmetry
