Caroline Myers

I am a postdoctoral researcher in Marisa Carrasco’s lab at New York University. I study how we represent the visual world and how those representations are shaped by attention and experience. My current work examines how attention and perceptual learning shape visual processing, and how covert attention and spatial vision interact across development.

I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Johns Hopkins University, where I worked with Justin Halberda and Chaz Firestone and collaborated with the Lab for Child Development. There, I combined behavioral psychophysics with computational approaches to investigate the representational format and content of perception, with a focus on object representations, visual working memory, and judgments under uncertainty.
