| Degrees: Ph.D., Brown University, Walter S. Hunter Laboratory of Psychology, 1979 |
| Teaching Interests: Visual psychophysics and neural foundations of visual perception, development and aging, color vision in art and science |
| Research Interests: My research is concerned with understanding the neurophysiological computations and mechanisms that mediate human vision, particularly changes in color and spatial vision across the life span. Studies in my lab are being conducted with students, postdoctoral associates and other faculty, and are concerned with both normal aging and age-related retinal disease, particularly macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in the elderly. |
