معرفی
Thomas McDougall is a Researcher (Contractor/Visitor) at the School of Psychological Science, The University of Western Australia, specializing in visual perception research. His work investigates motion perception, spatial summation, and neurological impacts of migraine and ageing through psychophysical methods and brain stimulation.
He earned a PhD in Visual Perception from The University of Western Australia, with doctoral research titled "Spatial summation of motion: Considering the effects of psychophysical method and healthy ageing".
McDougall's research spans Visual Perception, Motion Perception, Spatial Summation, and Brain Stimulation in Vision, with emphasis on how migraine and ageing alter visual processing. His studies frequently employ drifting gratings and Battenberg stimuli to examine contrast summation mechanisms and receptive field properties under varying chromatic conditions.
Publications from 2016-2021 reveal consistent focus on motion direction tuning, centre-surround suppression, and spatial summation in older adults and migraineurs. His work demonstrates methodological innovation in assessing visual processing through suprathreshold contrast experiments and brain stimulation protocols.
