Dr Erin Goddard

Back to

I received my PhD in 2011 from the University of Sydney, before completing postdoctoral positions at the University of Sydney and Macquarie University in Sydney, and at McGill University in Montréal, Canada. I joined 91ɫ��Ƭ in 2020.��My research aims to understand the workings of human visual system and its interaction with related brain systems (e.g the influences of task, attention and memory on visual processes). I use behavioural methods (psychophysics) as well as neuroimaging (fMRI and MEG). I am currently working on projects funded by the Australian Research Council, and an appointment to the 91ɫ��Ƭ Scientia Program. For further details of my research, see
