Joseph Schmidt

Joseph Schmidt is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Central Florida, where he directs the Attention and Memory Laboratory. His research integrates eye-tracking and EEG/ERP methodologies to study attention-memory interactions. Key focus areas include:

• Neural and behavioral correlates of visual working memory
• Attention guidance in real-world contexts
• Visual search errors in medical imaging
• Oculomotor patterns in neurological disorders

His work bridges cognitive psychology and neuroscience, examining how memory representations shape attentional selection. Current projects investigate cognitive expectations in visual search, EEG classification methods, and attentional deficits in clinical populations.
