Vision Science at Berkeley

Vision is for most people their most valuable sensory modality. It is also the source of a rich array of research questions relating to how we see, how and why vision fails, and what can be done about it

To seek answers to these questions and others, the Vision Research community offers students an opportunity to investigate, probe and analyze the mysteries of vision. Vision Research at UC Berkeley is an interdisciplinary group of faculty and researchers from departments throughout academia, including Bioengineering, Neuroscience, Psychophysics and Molecular and Cell Biology (see Faculty Research).

Vision Research at UC Berkeley offers a range of research opportunities, from PhD and MS programs in Vision Science to short-term training for Optometry students (OD Research) and postdoctoral patient-based research training for practicing clinicians (BCSDP).
