Hi, my name is Dawei Bai. I am a postdoc at Yale University.

I study the perception of physics and agency, and the intersection of the two.

Demos:

Solidity shapes object motion perception (3rd place in the Best Illusion of the Year Contest 2021 by the Neural Correlate Society!)

Pulfrich Solidity Illusion (see publication below)

Publications:

(I believe that my website should not look better than my science. So this website will look better once I have done more science!)
