Our Research
We study human visual perception, with an emphasis on selective attention, eye movements, and the limits of the brain's processing capacity. Those factors play a key role in what you are doing right now: reading.
Reading is one of the most important tasks for which humans use their visual systems. Using behavioral psychophysics, eye-tracking, and functional MRI, our primary goal at the Barnard Vision Lab is to investigate the remarkable feats and limitations of word recognition in the human brain.
