Welcome to the Translational Vision Research Lab!
Our research focuses on vision-related human factors and the impact of eye diseases on them. At the basic science level, we aim to understand the mechanism of visual perception in daily tasks such as reading, object recognition, and navigation. At the practical level, we apply our knowledge about human visual system to the development of training protocols and assistive technology. Some examples of our research topics are:
- Sensory and cognitive constraints of reading tasks.
- Assistive technology as visual aids, including visual, auditory, and tactile means.
- Accessibility of technology (focusing on visual factors).
- Visual training and rehabilitation.
- Multisensory integration.
- Prosthetic visual devices.
- Brain plasticity following training, long-term vision loss, and the regaining of sight.
