This poster was presented at VSS 2024, exploring how statistical regularities in natural scenes guide visual attention. The project examines how learned object–location associations shape attentional priorities during search, connecting experience-driven learning and naturalistic perception.

Our research examines how attention adapts through experience — a perfect fit for my interests in visual learning and reward-based attention.
I’m thrilled to be part of such a dynamic and innovative lab community.
