Guy Wallis

Prof. Guy Wallis studies visual recognition and visuomotor behaviour. His investigations combine computational modelling of neural systems in the brain with data drawn from behavioural studies. Many of these behavioural studies are conducted in computer-controlled, virtual environments. Guy holds an undergraduate degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Imperial College, London) and a PhD in Visual Neuroscience (Oxford University, UK). He joined the School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences in 1998 after a three year period as a Visiting Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Germany. His research has been funded by the Australian Research Council, the Human Frontier Science Program, and the Wellcome Trust, as well as through industry partnerships with the Queensland Construction Training Centre, the Australian Coal Association Research Program, Queensland Health, the US Air Force and Boeing.
