National Eye Institute Early Career Scientist Travel Grant

Psychology, UC San Diego

The Vision Sciences Society (VSS) and National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded me their $1,000 NEI Early Career Scientist Travel Grant for the upcoming VSS conference in May in St. Pete Beach, FL.

Undergraduate, doctoral, and post-doctoral researchers who are first-author presenters on a conference abstract were eligible for the award. A subcommittee of the VSS Board of Directors determined winners based on the scientific quality of the submitted presentation and by other criteria set by the National Institutes of Health.

I will be presenting a modeling paper that addresses the underlying decision variable that the brain uses when rejecting a set of familiar objects (e.g., in this case, faces). My latest post on the VSS conference talks about my poster session more in depth.
