Dual Sensory Impairment: Spatial Localization with Combined Vision and Hearing impairment
Thursday, November 2nd, 2023 – 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
Dual sensory impairment (DSI) refers to combined vision and hearing impairment. DSI concerns a large population and its prevalence increases...
Visual perception, eye movements and visual field awareness after central vision loss: Evidence from patients with Macular degeneration, simulated scotoma, and visual training
Wednesday, October 25th, 2023 – 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
Macular Degeneration (MD) represents the leading cause of visual impairment in the Western World. Late-stage MD eventually leads to the...
Fixational Eye Movements in Strabismus and Amblyopia: Implications for visual function deficits and treatment outcomes
Thursday, November 18th, 2021 – 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
We have developed robust and objective measures that do not depend upon the young patient’s cooperation or provider’s assessments of...
Identifying neural sub-systems underlying human stereopsis
Thursday, March 18th, 2021 – 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
The psychophysical and oculomotor literatures have long proposed that stereoscopic vision is served by multiple underlying subsystems. The subsystems are...
Neuroimaging Studies of Binocular Rivalry: How the brain changes its mind
Thursday, December 7th, 2023 – 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
I will discuss human fMRI and MEG studies of binocular rivalry, including some recent work on individual differences. Alternations between...
My Perspective on Vision and Vision Rehabilitation
Wednesday, October 4th, 2023 – 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
“Vision is the most important sense for guiding our interaction with the environment.” In my career, I have been involved...
Residual stereopsis in anisometropia and small-angle strabismus
Wednesday, August 23rd, 2023 – 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
We have developed a custom test to measure stereopsis at locations across the visual field to yield a “stereo map”—...
Brain-Based Visual Dysfunction (Cerebral Visual Impairment)
Thursday, June 29th, 2023 – 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
CVI is now the commonest cause of bilateral visual functional loss in children with a visual impairment and the prevalence...
Hybrid Brown Bag: Insights into Binocular Fixational Eye Movements – a study of both eyes and a model. Chandna and Heinen Lab
Tuesday, May 9th, 2023 – 10:00 PM to Wednesday, May 10th, 2023 – 11:00 AM
We show results from our experiments with fixation to an accommodative target in neurotypicals under binocular and monocular viewing conditions...
