Research Interests

My basic research interest is in the assessment of visual function, primarily in humans. I have been particularly interested in higher order visual processes, including binocular vision and optic flow. I use a range of techniques including electrophysiology (electroretinography and visually evoked potientials), psychophysics, and questionnaires. Being in a clinical department, I frequently use my knowledge of visual function either to perform special testing of clinical patients or to evaluate systemic disease effects on the eye.
