Billy R. Hammond Professor, Behavioral and Brain Sciences and Neuroscience Programs 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.

Development and Psychopathology (DAP) Lab, Dr. Cynthia Suveg The mission of the DAP lab is to conduct research that can help foster healthy development in children and families from diverse sociodemographic backgrounds. Guided by the notion that development is best informed by studying pathways that lead to both adaptation and maladaptation, our research examines risk and protective processes in typically- and atypically-developing youth and their families using a theoretically-driven, multi-level, multi-method assessment (physiological, behavioral, neurological, ecological momentary assessment) approach. Research at the DAP Lab has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, The Owens Institute of Behavioral Research, The Clinical & Translational Research Unit at the University of Georgia, and the University of Georgia Research Foundation.
