Summary
Christopher Blair received his Doctorate in Cognitive and Brain Sciences from the University of Nevada, Reno in 2015 where his research focused principally on neural correlates of visual perception, size perception, and form motion interactions. Between 2015 and 2017, he completed a PostDoc in Visual Attention at McGill University. Between 2017 and 2020, he worked as an Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department at Eastern Oregon University before joining the faculty at the University of Nevada, Reno.
