Christopher C. Davoli
Postdoctoral Associate
Ph.D., Washington University
Research Interests:
Dr. Davoli's research investigates the factors that shape our experience of the visual world. Thus far, he has studied how what is done with the body (e.g., posture, action), what is done in the mind (e.g., imagined postures, visualized actions), and what is experienced by the self (e.g., emotional arousal, recalled or imagined scenarios) affect behavior on a variety of visually guided tasks. His work also considers exogenous factors (e.g., perceptual stimuli, the effects of psychotropic agents), neuropsychological syndromes and states (e.g., synesthesia, trait anxiety), and individual differences.
