Joe Thompson (PhD)
Joe's research primarily uses Big Data principles to investigate skill development and maintenance. The work employs detailed records of Real Time Strategy video game play, allowing for large samples of natural performance from a variety of ages.

Caitlyn McColeman (PhD)
Caitlyn has worked on three parallel research tracts: 1) the relationship between perception and data visualization efficacy (which was the basis of her dissertation), 2) the relationship between visual salience and category decision-making and 3) measuring visual attention in video game play with big data techniques. She is currently working in the at Northwestern University.
