Ayse Djahit
Jun-Aug 2010
Ayse won a Biomedical Vacation Scholarship from the Wellcome Trust to support her working in the lab over the summer, in collaboration with Andrew Trevelyan at the Institute of Aging & Health, on mechanisms of cortical inhibition.
Xavier Vaz
Jan-Mar 2010
Xavier was a Biomedical Sciences student here at Newcastle, and did his 3rd-year project in my lab, studying how dot contrast polarity affects the solution of the stereo correspondence problem.

Albert Lim
Summer of 2007
After finishing the second year of his medicine degree here at Newcastle, Albert chose to spend his summer volunteering in my lab to gain experience of research. He has contributed large amounts of psychophysical data for Graeme’s PhD project, and helped out the Northern Kites Project by performing a statistical analysis of some of their data.
Emilia Iwanczuk
Summer of 2006
Emilia spent a summer volunteering in my lab after finishing the second year of her psychology undergraduate degree here at Newcastle. Emilia took measurements to help calibrate my stereoscope, did a literature search and review for me on mechanisms of filling-in, and took piles and piles of psychophysical data.
