Dr. Jason Haberman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Rhodes College and a member of the neuroscience program. He holds a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from the University of California at Davis (2010) and a B.A. in Behavioral Neuroscience and Music from Colgate University (2001). His academic appointments include serving as a Postdoctoral Scholar at Harvard University (2010-2014) prior to his current position.
Haberman's research centers on visual perception, with specialized expertise in ensemble perception – the cognitive ability to represent complex visual information through summary statistics. This includes mechanisms for perceiving 'averages' in crowds (e.g., emotion, size, motion). His work examines how this perceptual heuristic enables efficient representation of visual environments despite limited explicit awareness of details.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals consistent themes in perceptual averaging mechanisms, facial expression processing, and visual efficiency in complex scenes. Key topics include temporal integration of information, adaptive visual compression, and neural correlates of statistical perception across diverse stimuli types.
He mentors undergraduate researchers extensively, with multiple student co-authors acknowledged in publications. His laboratory focuses on both basic perceptual mechanisms and applied domains including social cognition, aesthetic judgments, and emotion processing.
