Research Interests

My research interests are very broad and I have conducted research on performance monitoring (from a cognitive neuroscience perspective), the perceptions of tattoos in professional settings, the perception of food/flavour, aviator cognition, and video games to name a few areas. Currently, I am interested in music perception from both neuroscience and social psychological perspectives.

Teaching Interests

I teach a variety of courses on the physiological side of psychology. At the second and third year levels these courses include biological psychology, sensation and perception, and cognition. I also teach research methods and design, the senior seminar class, and the fourth-year independent projects. My favourite course to teach is Introductory Psychology and I have taught that here at Grenfell Campus, at McMaster University in Hamilton, and online to students studying at North Arctic College in Nunavut.
