Abstract - Macular degeneration (MD) represents one of the main causes of vision loss and a serious health concern worldwide. Late-stage MD leads to the development of a region of retinal blindness…

Abstract: Investigating spatial knowledge acquisition through audio, Brandon will discuss the research he has been performing and plans to perform to develop different theories about digital auditory…

Abstract - To overcome variability, estimate scene characteristics, and compress sensory input, perceptual systems pool sensory data into statistical summaries. Despite growing evidence for…

Abstract - What does the visual cortex do in people born completely blind? Early-onset blindness leads to reorganization in visual cortex connectivity and function, but this reorganization is not…

Abstract - Normal vision relies on exquisite control of the eye movements. Vertebrate extraocular motor neurons control the six muscles that move each eye. We know comparatively little about the…

Abstract- The amount of sensory information we receive at any one moment far outstrips our brain’s ability to process this information. We can effortlessly withstand this deluge of sensory input due…

Announcing the Eighteenth Annual Meeting Low Vision Rehabilitation Study Group (Returning to in-person meeting in San Francisco) Purpose: An informal gathering of clinicians/clinical researchers in…

Abstract - Image descriptions, audio descriptions, and tactile media provide non-visual access to the information contained in visual media. As intelligent systems are increasingly developed to…

Abstract: Ophthalmology, visual science, and vision rehabilitation have significant areas of overlap. In this presentation, I want to discuss insights into their interaction and stress aspects that…

Abstract - Attention to low-level visual features can alter the activity of neurons in visual cortex. In principle we expect attention to select the neurons most sensitive to changes in the feature…
