Stephen Emrich

Stephen Emrich is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Brock University. His research focuses on visual cognitive neuroscience, specifically examining how neural activity contributes to conscious perception through the study of visual working memory and attention. He employs behavioral methods, fMRI, and EEG/ERP techniques to explore these topics.

Selected research interests include: visual working memory capacity, attention mechanisms, fMRI analysis, and electrophysiological studies (EEG/ERP). His work often addresses how these processes interact in tasks like visual search and how they influence conscious perception.

Recent research highlights include studies on flexible allocation of memory resources, effects of anxiety on attentional bias, and age-related differences in cognitive control. His findings contribute to understanding neural underpinnings of visual cognition.
