Lora Likova, Ph.D.  
Brain plasticity, multisensory perception, memory, learning, and navigation in the blind and sighted, investigated with multimodal brain imaging (fMRI/DTI/EEG/VBM/SBM), and behavioral and VR interventions for neurorehabilitation.

Natela Shanidze, Ph.D.  
Visual/vestibular interactions, eye and head movements in normal vision and central field loss, noise-induced vestibular deficits, mobility - gait and postural control.

Santani Teng, Ph.D.  
Cross-sensory spatial and object perception, braille, echolocation, and mobility in blind and sighted persons, investigated with psychophysical, neuroimaging (fMRI, M/EEG), and engineering approaches.

Christopher Tyler, Ph.D., D.Sc. 
  
Brain imaging, electrophysiological, and psychophysical studies of 3D vision, long-range interactions, and temporal processing dynamics in brain trauma and visual disorders.

Preeti Verghese, Ph.D.  
Spatial vision, stereopsis, attention, and eye movements in normal vision and in individuals with macular degeneration, amblyopia and strabismus, using psychophysics, virtual reality, and steady-state VEP.
