Research Interests

Computation & control models of ocular motility (binocular eye movements, accommodation), investigating behavioral meas of human eye movements, stereopsis, modeling prosthetic ocular lens to restore focusing ability of the eye.

Research Summary

We are currently modeling a prosthetic ocular lens that will replace the hardened ocular lens to restore ocular focusing ability or ocular accommodation and its decline with aging.  Our studies investigate neural adaptation processes that maintain youthful accommodation as the eye ages.  We are also investigating stimuli for stereoscopic depth perception.
