The Attention Lab at Royal Holloway studies a range of topics, including: attentional capture; the relationship between attention and awareness; and the way that attention acts within and between the sensory modalities of vision, hearing and touch. We also investigate attentional allocation during real life tasks, such as driving cars or piloting aircraft.

Our work has been featured by a range of TV and radio stations (including BBC Breakfast TV, Sky News, and BBC Radio 5Live) as well as print media (including The Telegraph and The Guardian in the UK and MSNBC in the US).
