Joe Schmidt is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Central Florida.\u00a0 He received his Ph.D. in Experimental & Cognitive Psychology in 2012 from Stony Brook University.\u00a0 After receiving his doctorate, he spent two years as a Post-doctorate Research Fellow at the University of South Carolina\u2019s Institute for Mind and Brain.\u00a0 After his Post-doctorate position, he spent a year as a Research Support Specialist at SR Research (an eye tracking company).\u00a0 His primary research interest focuses on the interaction of memory and attentional systems and how they affect our broader cognitive functions.\u00a0 By simultaneously tracking eye movements and recording EEG\/ERP, he can measure both overt and covert shifts of attention which can then be related to aspects of memory representations. Much of his research focuses on how changes to a target representation held in memory affect our ability to guide attention to a target object in the world around us.\u00a0 Given that memory and attentional processes are involved in most tasks, his research interests are quite broad.\u00a0 Lab website: https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/psychology\/amlab<\/a><\/p>\n
