Frank Tong

Professor of Psychology

Frank Tong studies the neural bases of visual perception, attention, awareness, recognition, and working memory, by using behavioral and human brain imaging techniques. He is especially interested in the problems of brain reading and mind reading, that is, whether measures of a person's brain activity can be used to readout a person's visual thoughts. The overall goal of this research is to understand how visual representations in different brain areas mediate people's ability to consciously perceive and recognize basic visual features and complex objects. Specific research topics include binocular rivalry, perceptual filling-in, feature representations in visual cortex, object recognition, face perception, mental imagery, visual attention and consciousness. His research is supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.
