Dr. Yamani's research interests lie in the domain of visual attention, perception, and cognition including the study of basic and applied issues. He is particularly interested in 1) how the visual system extracts and represents information for adaptive behavior from complex and dynamic visual scenes, 2) how mechanisms of attention limit human performance in real-world tasks, and 3) how visual and attentional abilities change across the lifespan. Dr. Yamani studies these problems using analytic behavioral techniques and eye measures in both traditional paradigms and simulated environments, towards the optimal design of complex task displays and automated systems.
