Daniel Simons is the head of Visual Cognition Lab at the University of Illinois. His recent research explores the cognitive underpinnings of our experience of a stable and continuous visual world. For example, his studies reveal the surprising extent of inattentional blindness — the failure to notice unusual and salient events when attention is otherwise engaged and when the events are unexpected. More broadly, he tries to identify those aspects of our environment that automatically capture attention and those that go unnoticed. Other active research interests include scene perception, object recognition, visual memory, visual fading, attention, driving and distraction. His laboratory adopts methods ranging from real-world and video-based approaches to computer-based psychophysical techniques.
The Converging Zone Network (CZN) desires to connect people and provide a platform to share their unique passions, experiences, and purposes. It begins with connectivity, and then purpose filled relationships that share life, resources, encouragement, and community building strategies. CZN believes in transformational life coaching, as coaches are trained listeners who relationally and strategically unlock and release others into their destinies. Through seeking to understand, while listening to Wisdom, they assist others in the discovery of their authentic identity, purpose, and pathway for life. CZN desires to see people set free toward authentic lives of significance.
