Abstract: Patients with exotropia are able to make accurate saccades to visual targets, often using either eye. · Which eye provides information to the brain regarding target location? · How is that…

Abstract: A short reaction time is necessary for survival in a rapidly changing environment, and anticipatory actions are often initiated before the occurrence of an expected event. In the oculomotor…

Abstract: What is the nature of the neural code in primate primary visual cortex (V1)? Two key properties of primate V1 are relevant to this question. First, V1 representations are widely distributed…

Abstract: Flexibility is of the remarkable properties of the human brain. I will describe research on how the human brain does and does not change in response to blindness. On the one hand, meaning…

Abstract: To reconstruct how the head is moving relative to the environment, the nervous system relies on a combination of visual and vestibular sensory information. Vestibular signals are driven by…

Abstract: Reading is a pervasive activity in our daily life. We read text printed on books and documents, shown on directional signs and advertisement, and displayed on computer and smartphone screens…

Abstract: Myopia (near-sightedness) is on the rise worldwide. In East and Southeast Asia, up to 95% of young people require glasses. Up to 20% are highly myopic, with a substantially increased risk of…

Abstract: Visual tags play a key role in the guidance of the visually impaired (VI) through unknown environments. Since QR codes are too small to be identified from a significant distance, the ArUco…

Abstract: Anomalous trichromats have three cone types, but with diminished L vs M sensitivity due to shifted spectral sensitivities. We examined whether post-receptoral processing might amplify and…

Abstract: Eye movements provide a high-bandwidth, multidimensional stream of data, which is a veritable firehose compared to traditional psychophysics. In particular, eye movements (and motor…
