Research Interests

The Vision Sciences Laboratory studies all aspects of the human visual system. This extends from basic studies of the cornea, lens and retina to applied studies of visual processing within the brain. A primary focus of the laboratory has been the investigation of how lifestyle, primarily dietary, influences both the development of degenerative disease and the normal function of the central nervous system. For example, we use psychophysical methods to measure the concentration of the dietary carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin within the fovea (termed macular pigment or the macula lutea) and have related those pigments to various aspects of retinal and brain function.

The combination of expertise and our interdisciplinary approach has led to insights in a diversity of areas. For example, we have published data relative to the development of age-related eye disease and we are currently studying preventive approaches to dementia (including Alzheimers and Cognitive decline). We are also working on issues in Sports Vision and other aspects of visual performance. Another strong area in our laboratory is the maturation of the infant visual system and brain.

Research Interests

I study the development of visual attention in infants and young children. I am specifically interested in developmental changes in attention, the role of attentional processes in how infants learn about the world around them and how they interact with other people, and what individual differences in infant attention may tell us about social and cognitive development when the infant is older. In my lab, we study both behavioral (i.e., look duration and reaction time) and physiological (i.e., heart rate and respiration rate) measures of attention, using both global and microanalytic coding techniques.

My lab includes a stimulus presentation computer with a 31 inch monitor, 3 videocameras, a video-mixer for creating split-screen images, equipment for synchronizing each frame of videotape with a time code, two videotape coding computers, and a bioamplifier for measuring heart rate and respiration rate. Much of our work involves painstaking analysis of videotape records of testing sessions with babies previously recorded. You can learn more about research studies we are doing in our lab by clicking here to visit our lab web page.
