Research Interests
Visual Psychophysiology. We are
interested in the processing of color and form information by the visual system.
Recent work has focused on the nature of the parallel pathways in humans which
are responsible for encoding and transmitting this information, and on the
development of these pathways from infancy through adulthood. Psychophysical
experiments utilize hue scaling and chromatic adaptation to isolate chromatic
and luminance pathways, while physiological studies use the visual evoked
potential to study the development of these pathways in humans.
