Abstract - Most real-world hearing occurs in acoustically cluttered, reverberant environments, making perceptual segregation of sound sources critical. Reverberation signal carries environmental…

Abstract - Although programming may have once been a niche skill, the abundance of coding languages, environments, and libraries that are geared for practically any scientific pursuit has made…

Abstract - Despite that we have two eyes, dominant models of voluntary eye movement control except a single input, and issue a single conjugate command, in accordance with Hering’s Law. When midline…

Abstract - Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most prevalent cause of central visual field loss. Since the high-acuity fovea (the oculomotor locus) is often impaired in AMD, people…

Abstract - Our environment is multisensory; at any given time, information can be received through multiple senses. While it was previously believed that multisensory processing in the cortex was…

Abstract - Indoor navigation is a significant challenge for people with visual impairments, who often lack access to visual cues such as informational signs, landmarks, and structural features that…

Abstract - The prevalence of binocular dysfunction in the general population is greater than any other visual condition besides refractive error and is expected to increase in the coming years…

Abstract - I will describe two projects in the lab on functional vision in macular degeneration. Individuals with macular degeneration typically lose vision in the central region of one or both eyes…

Abstract - Healthy aging is accompanied by a decline in many perceptual, cognitive, and motor abilities, which can lead to a loss of autonomy and health risks, most notably falls. Postural control and…

Abstract - Digital maps from Google, ESRI, and other places have always been made completely visual. This means blind, low vision, and other nonvisual users have no access to nonvisual digital maps…
