Gary Fisk, Ph.D.

Professonal History

The start was a B.A. at Luther College, then I moved on to a Ph.D. in Behavioral Neurobiology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. For the last 25 years I have been a Psychology faculty member at Georgia Southwestern State University.

Scholarship

My scholarship focuses mostly upon the study of unconscious perceptual processing. Although psychologists typically hold the opinion that perception is mostly unconscious, Steve Haase and I take the position that many results atributed to unconscious processing could be more accurately understood as producing a partial or graded conscious experience.
