Research summary
AI-generated

Gregory Francis conducts research in visual perception, studying how the brain groups and organizes visual information, including phenomena like visual crowding (difficulty recognizing objects surrounded by clutter) and perceptual grouping. His work also includes computational modeling of these processes and methodological critiques of research practices, such as evaluating statistical power and publication bias in vision science studies.
