Welcome to the Wong Attention Vision & Encoding (WAVE) Lab!

Our lab explores visual perception and cognition — investigating the mental processes that underlie how we take raw visual input from the world (a mess of lines and colors) and make sense of it (e.g. forming representations of "objects" and "agents"), guiding our everyday function.

In short, our research delves into the (often) surprising answers to questions such as: "What do we actually see?" and "How do we parse the world into meaningful mental representations?"
