Research Interests

Eye trackers, eye movements, visual fields plotting, array signal processing, adaptive filters, visually evoked potentials

The basic research theme is the development and application of models, instruments and signal-processing techniques for the non-invasive evaluation of normal and perturbed visual system functions. The primary goals are to develop better models for the oculomotor system and to obtain a better understanding of the interactions between the sensory and motor visual sub-systems.

Instrumentation that allow accurate measurements of eye-movements and neurophysiological functions has been developed. Eye movements are recorded by high precision eye-trackers that incorporate advanced opto-electronic detectors and novel adaptive signal-processing techniques.

Neurophysiological functions such as stereopsis and visual acuity are monitored through the use of Visual evoked Potentials (VEPs). The VEP system that we have developed uses novel signal processing algorithms to enhance parameter estimation and it offers an objective and reliable method to study the development of information processing capabilities in preverbal (infants) subjects.
