Central research interest:

The effects of immaturities and abnormalities of the visual system on the development of vision.

Why is this interesting?

Methods we use in our lab to study what a baby can see

Projects in our laboratory:

The studies in the lab incorporate approaches from the fields of neuroscience, psychology and medicine.  We study the ways in which visual information is processed in the developing visual system and how infants and young children manage to focus and align their eyes.  We study infants and children with typically developing visual systems and those with conditions that we need to understand better, such as amblyopia and strabismus.  Our long term goal is to improve the approaches to preventing and managing these conditions.

Currently we are working on three projects:

Our other recent projects have been published in the following manuscripts:
