Abstract: Behavior in the visually oriented world often goes along with scanning eye movements that have a tight relationship with attention. Movements of the eyes generally follow movements of…

Abstract: Adaptive optical elements, including lenses, prisms, occluders, and color filters, may create new opportunities for correction of presbyopia, treatment of amblyopia, strabismus, and color…

Abstract: This informal discussion will provide a high-level overview of projects I've undertaken since my start at S-K as an RERC intern in 1998. Topics will include successful technology transfer…

Abstract: Despite the progress on assistive technologies for the visually impaired, numerous sources of information remain difficult to access without vision. Most of the existing solutions for…

Abstract: Compared to low-level saliency, higher-level information better predicts human eye movement in static images. In the current study, we tested how both types of information predict eye…

Abstract: Healthy peripheral retina is exquisitely sensitive to fast speeds. Individuals with central field loss (CFL) typically only have residual peripheral vision and studies suggest they become…

Abstract Attention allows us to select the most important information while ignoring irrelevant information. One prominent role of attention is that visual attention operates through the facilitation…

Abstract: Ocular smooth pursuit is fragile and therefore a sensitive biomarker of many neurological problems. But numerous disorders produce similar pursuit deficits rendering pursuit diagnosis non…

Abstract: Binocular disparity is a precise depth cue yet in view of its derivation from binocular geometry. it is generally considered to be independent of luminance contrast. Our study, however…

Abstract: Experiences from over 40 years in Vision Rehabilitation have given me some insight into the nature of “Vision” that differs from the traditional approach by clinicians and scientists. Visual…
