Research Interests:
I am currently working on the Sighted Babies of Blind Parents Study, a research project that explores how sighted infants with blind parents develop the brain mechanisms and skills for social communication. On this project I primarily work with the Positive Science head-mounted eye-tracker and play a main role in data cleaning and coding.
My specific research interest lies within the development of social cognition and as part of my BSc I am currently investigating how some behaviours can influence looking behaviours in a parent-child interactions using the Positive Science head-mounted eye-tracker. This study is being supervised by Dr. Atsushi Senju and Dr. Tim Smith.
