Sanocki Lab

My lab benefits from the effort and learning of many students. We have openings for a number of students, from basic lab assistants to students wanting to design and conduct their own research (within our broad interests). Contact me if interested! TS


EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

I received an excellent public education which I am thankful for. As an undergrad at Northern Michigan University (NMU), I was given the opportunity to design and conduct research and found interaction between vision and mind, within the problem of how people read. Thanks to a great advisor (Greg Oden), I was able to study reading, from letter perception to comprehension (among other things), at the U. of Wisconsin (UW); another excellent program. I was given a job and a lab in the once-growing economy of Florida (USF). Thanks to inexpensive computers, I examined how the mind perceives objects and scenes, with the wonderful help of many students. Thanks to tenure I can continue to expand my basic research while applying knowledge to do good — e.g., teaching children to read and trying to design our world for humans.
