| Research Note: | My general research interests are in object recognition and visual attention. Current research in my lab seeks to address the the following questions: How do we recognize objects under natural viewing conditions? How are we able to dynamically track moving objects? And, how does the brain's representation of external objects interact with the the brain's representation of our body. |

It's not often that a novice scientist discovers something that the experts have missed. Daphne Soares' research in the journal Nature reports on an overlooked body part that was in plain view -- the snouts of alligators. | Featured NACS Alumni | |
