    Gillian Porter
    Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, UK

    Gillian Porter
    Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, UK
    Cortex 46:621-36. 2010
    ..The data also highlight the independence of eye movement and pupillometry measures and stress the importance of saccades and strategy for understanding the processing mechanisms driving different types of visual search...

    Andrea Tales
    School of Experimental Psychology, Bristol University, Clifton, Bristol, UK
    J Alzheimers Dis 32:457-66. 2012
