Arts & Sciences Faculty Spotlight

Michael C. Hout, Psychology

Research: Focuses primarily on visual search and eye movement control. Study how people find their belongings, how radiologists look for problematic tissue in medical imaging, how airport security scanners look for prohibited items in travelers' baggage, and how search and rescue responders locate clues and missing persons.

Courses: Cognitive Psychology (PSY340), Experimental Methods (PSY310)
