Biography

Jacqueline Fulvio is a Research Scientist at the McPherson Eye Research Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She earned her BA in Psychology from Rutgers University in 2004, her MA in Experimental Psychology: Cognition Perception from New York University in 2006, and her PhD in 2009 from New York University in the same field. Fulvio completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Minnesota focusing on Visual Perception Learning from 2009 to 2012. Her research addresses core questions in psychology related to perception, specifically how humans predict the movement of objects in the world based on limited sensory information and past experiences. She utilizes psychophysical tasks to gather data on how observers make predictions about moving objects, integrating sensory information with internal beliefs. Currently, Fulvio collaborates with Dr. Bas Rokers at UW-Madison, extending her work into neuroimaging using fMRI technology in ecologically valid environments with virtual reality. Through her innovative research program, she has contributed significantly to the understanding of visual processing mechanisms.
