Kwon Lab for Low Vision and Brain Research

The central theme of research in the Kwon Lab is to understand how people with visual impairment see and recognize the world around them. To this end, they study how the visual system deals with four major aspects of visual deficits that often occur in impaired vision: blur, low contrast, visual field loss, and abnormal binocular interaction. Our research involves psychophysical, eye tracking, fMRI and computational investigations in normal and visually impaired humans.
