معرفی
Daryl Fougnie is an Associate Professor of Psychology and Global Network Associate Professor at New York University Abu Dhabi. He is a core faculty member in the Department of Psychology within the College of Arts and Science, actively conducting research and teaching undergraduate courses in cognitive psychology.
His research focuses on the fundamental limits of human cognition, particularly in visual perception, attention, and memory. Through psychophysics and computational modeling, the Fougnie Lab investigates how the brain processes and retains visual information, exploring questions about capacity limits, the nature of mental representations, and the interaction between attention and memory. Key areas include visual working memory, attentional selection, retro-cueing, and memory-guided behavior.
The 15 most recent publications reflect a strong thematic focus on the probabilistic and resource-constrained nature of working memory, the strategic control of attention, and the neural and cognitive mechanisms underlying perception and memory. Research often employs innovative paradigms such as betting games and reproduction tasks to probe internal representations and decision-making processes.

Daryl Fougnie mentors undergraduate students in the Fougnie Lab and supervises capstone research projects in psychology. His lab is actively funded, as evidenced by repeated Research Enhancement Fund awards, and collaborates widely with researchers such as Kartik Sreenivasan, Clay Curtis, and Edyta Sasin. The lab is currently recruiting postdoctoral researchers, indicating ongoing and expanding research activity.
The Fougnie Lab at NYU Abu Dhabi serves as a hub for cognitive science research, integrating experimental psychology with computational approaches. It provides research opportunities for undergraduates and fosters collaboration across disciplines, contributing significantly to the understanding of human cognitive architecture.
