Research Interests
In my research, I use several psychophysical measures of size perception to investigate the perception of food portion size. The research focuses on the effects of food-deprivation and hunger on food size perception, and on size perception (of both food and body shape) amongst eating disordered patients.
Furthermore, I investigate the effects of visual illusions of food-stimuli on these populations, in comparison to normal-healthy controls.
