Professor Julie Harris has been Professor of Psychology at St Andrews since 2005. In her laboratory, psychophysical, behavioural and computational techniques are used to explore the basic processes underlying human visual perception and its links to motor action. Current research projects focus on: vision and animal patterning (including camouflage and warning signals), cue combination in depth and shape perception, colour-depth interactions, binocular stereopsis, three-dimensional motion.
Julie has also held academic posts in Psychology at Newcastle University, and in Neuroscience at the University of Edinburgh. Julie was a postdoc in the USA at The Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute (California). She was state educated at a comprehensive school in Wolverhampton before obtaining a BSc (Physics) from Imperial College, London, and a DPhil from Oxford University.
