Vision Laboratory
The Vision Laboratory at Northeastern University employs psychophysical and computational methods to better understand visual perception. Current topics under study include chromatic detection and discrimination, color appearance, visual plasticity, the relationship of response times to thresholds

Rhea Eskew
The majority of Rhea Eskew’s research in visual psychophysics, particularly color detection and discrimination. Dr. Eskew constructs quantitative models and use psychophysical data to test such models. Specific topics of recent interest have included multiple (“higher-order”) color mechanisms, functional properties of ON and OFF pathways, and s-cone increment/decrement asymmetries.
