Biography:
Eric Amazeen received his bachelor's from Franklin & Marshall College and his master's and doctorate from the University of Connecticut. Amazeen adopts both ecological and dynamical approaches to understand perception and action. His specific research interests include weight perception and the size-weight illusion, visual attention in coordinated activity, and intermodal aspects of vision and touch.
