Our Research
We study human 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, a primary goal at the Barnard Vision Lab is to investigate the remarkable feats and limitations of word recognition in the human brain.
We are also studying the links between auditory perception and eye movements. See the Research page for more!
