About
This website is designed and maintained by me, Arthur Lugtigheid. I currently live in Birmingham (UK) where I am a PhD student in the binocular vision lab in the School of Psychology of the University of Birmingham.
About me
I was born in 1979 in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, and have lived most of my life in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht. Before I started my PhD in Birmingham, I obtained a bachelor and master degree in biological and cognitive psychology from the Erasmus University Rotterdam. I did my research internship for the masters degree at the Department of Neuroscience of the Erasmus MC, where I worked with Prof. Dr. Maarten Frens. In October of 2007 I started a PhD in vision science at the University of Birmingham.

About my research
My research focuses on how we perceive our environment in three dimensions. I’m interested in several questions concerning binocular vision. For instance, how do we estimate time-to-contact (the time needed for an object to hit us) and how do we tune our actions to this estimation? And how do we combine or integrate visual cues to the three dimensional structure of our environment? Some keywords: time-to-contact (TTC), cue combination and perceptual learning.
About this website
This website has been here for a long time, in different versions. It runs on wordpress and is hosted on verweg.com - I try to keep up to date with standards, but I probably won’t have succeeded in getting this to validate (I’ll leave that to you guys).
