Research Interests

  • Genetics of color vision: Human electrophysiology and psychophysics to determine phenotype and genotype relationships and the genetic basis for color vision variation among normal and color deficient 
  • Comparative color vision
  • Development  and aging of vision: Psychophysical investigations of color vision and electrophysiological assessment of color/luminance processing in infants and the aging population
  • Color vision deficiencies applied to assess neural integrity in pathology and physiological stress
  • Vision in Aviation;
