Research summary

Thomas A. Busey studies how humans perceive and make decisions about visual evidence, with a strong focus on forensic science tasks such as fingerprint, palmprint, and facial identification. His work uses methods like eye-tracking and measures of decision-making to understand how forensic examiners reach and communicate their conclusions, and how strongly those conclusions should be stated. Much of the research aims to quantify the reliability and strength of forensic identification decisions.
