My background is in psychology, with a strong influence from maths (I started on a Joint Honours degree but switched to straight psychology after 2 years). From there I went fairly heavily into neuroscience, studying face recognition (in sheep!), then macaque V1 and LGN.

Starting my own lab in 2003 I studied human visual perception, mostly looking at mid level vision using a wide range of techniques (psychophysics, fMRI, EEG and lots of computational modelling).

As my software got increasingly popular my time spent conducting experiments of my own got less and now those studies are only ever studies about research software precision or similar research methods questions.
