Principal Investigator:
Jonathan S. Cant, PhD
I
was born in Hamilton, Ontario, but spent my formative childhood and
adolescent years in Mississauga and Oakville, respectively. After
completing high school in Oakville, I attended Western University in
London, Ontario, and received my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I
decided to stay at Western for graduate school, and under the
supervision of Dr. Melvyn Goodale, I received my graduate degree in
neuroscience. After graduate school, I received additional training
during a three year postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University in
Boston, under the supervision of Dr. Yaoda Xu. At the end of my
postdoctoral fellowship, I accepted a position as an assistant
professor in the department of psychology at University of Toronto
Scarborough.
My research involves studying
visual perception and cognition using behavioral and neuroimaging
techniques (fMRI). My areas of expertise are object perception (both
single objects and ensembles of multiple objects), shape and texture
perception, scene perception, visual attention, and visuomotor control.
