Experimental Task Design for Perception Census
The Perception Census is a large-scale citizen science experiment in which people from around the world were invited to complete a battery of psychological tasks investigating the nature of perception across populations, with over 30,000 people taking part.
Neuroscientific Advising for Dreamachine
I worked as a neuroscientific consultant for a stroboscopic-light installation attended by ~40 k people and co-developed post-experience reporting tools. The resulting datasets are being analysed with the Sussex Centre for Consciousness Science; interim findings are being presented at ASSC 2025.
Hallucination Image Recreation Experimental Research
Over the past two years, I have developed interactive tools that allow participants to recreate images of their visual hallucinations. In a series of experiments, over 100 participants were trained to recreate their visual hallucinations which are currently being quantitatively analysed. Data collection was completed in the summer of 2025 and preliminary results were presented at the 2025 annual meeting for the Association for Scientific Study of Consciousness (ASSC) in Heraklion.
Development of the Visual Hallucination Questionnaire (6D-VHQ)
