Cécile Vullings

Zoom Brown Bag: Recovering information hidden behind the binocular scotoma in macular degeneration

Ingénieure Développement de Projet,

Université de Lille

Ph.D. in Psychology, University of Lille, France M.S. in Psychology: Experimental and Applied Behavior Analysis, University of Lille, France

As a postdoctoral fellow working under the supervision of Dr. Preeti Verghese, Dr. Vullings’ work at Smith-Kettlewell, funded by the Franco-American Fulbright commission, aimed at improving visual search in age-related macular degeneration patients by increasing scotoma awareness and optimizing their eye movement strategies. Previously, she completed her Ph.D. at University of Lille (France), in which she investigated oculomotor learning and the temporal plasticity of the saccadic system through behavioral (psychophysical and eye-tracking) methods and reinforcement techniques.
