Since commencing my research project with John Ross, at the University of Western Australia, I have been interested in studying the vision system. Methods have evolved over the past 30 years, but the major questions remain the same: how does it all work?

My teaching appointment is with Florence university, where I give two courses on visual perception. My research laboratory is at the Dipartimento di Psicologia, via della Cittadella, Florence (near the station). I also collaborate with Istituto di Neuroscienze del CNR in Pisa, the Psychology School of the University of Western Australia (where I hold the honorary title “adjunct professor”, the Stella Maris Research Institute in Pisa (for functional imaging) and with the Universitą Vita-Salute "San Rafaele", Milan. 

I serve on the editorial boards of Vision Research, Perception and Current Biology.
