The broad interest of my laboratory is to understand the
functional properties and organization of the visual mechanisms mediating
stereoscopic (binocular) depthperception and motion perception in human
observers. My laboratory employs psychophysical and behavioral methods to
investigate depth and motion processing. Currently, we are investigating
higher-order motion perception from stereoscopic cues, the processing of which
occurs beyond the site of binocular integration in the visual system. Related
interests include human factors of stereoscopic displays. |
