Richard Abrams is Professor of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, specializing in perception, attention, and motor control mechanisms. His research examines both overt movements (eyes and limbs) and covert visual attention processes. Current projects investigate perceptual objects in attention/action and visual stimuli that capture attention.
Research interests focus on:
- Perceptual object roles in attention allocation
- Visual attention capture mechanisms
- Motor control neuroscience
- Eye movement dynamics
- Attentional modulation through movement
Recent publications (2018-2023) demonstrate consistent focus on attention modulation, with key trends including value-driven attentional capture, distractor suppression, and perceptual-motor interactions. Studies employ psychophysical and behavioral methods to explore attention in unpredictable environments.
