Come find out more about our understanding of vision, and learn about new treatments and technologies to come in the near future.

Abstract: Braille, a tactile reading modality for blind readers, is a major neuroscientific model to probe crossmodal plasticity. However, the functional dynamics (how the information represented…

The IT Committee has been working on an upgraded wiki that will replace our old wiki and will serve as SKERI’s intranet – the main repository for internal SKERI information (such as the company…

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…

Abstract: Regressions back to previously read words have been extensively studied by manipulating the linguistic aspects of the reading material. Previous research in the sighted literature have also…

Abstract: This talk will provide an overview of Smith-Kettlewell's RERC (Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center) on Blindness and Low Vision, funded by the National Institute on Disability…
