Professional Research Staff

The following is a listing of current non-faculty professional research staff in the Vision Science program.

 

Marcus Bearse, Jr, PhD
mbearse@berkeley.edu
Assistant Scientist
Adams laboratory (web)

Research: Retinal function in diabetes, including using multifocal electroretinograms and other tests of visual function to identify markers of local retinal dysfunction that precede the onset of diabetic retinopathy; also developing new techniques for multifocal stimulation and response analysis

Thomas Carney, PhD
thom@neurometrics.com
Associate Researcher (web)
Klein laboratory

Research: (1) Developing new fMRI, MEG and EEG technologies to further our understanding of the temporal interactions between the multiple cortical visual areas. Current focus is on new methods of dipole source localization using known anatomical constraints; (2) Developing a human vision based computational image quality metric for improving video compression; (3) Promoting the Modelfest program for establishing a database test bed of images and psychophysical threshold data for developing HVS models; (4) Extending WinVis, an object oriented psychophysical testing platform for the assessment of visual function; (5) Using psychophysical methods to study motion perception and spatial vision in general; and (6) Improved estimation of cornea surface topography for contact lens fitting and corneal surface sculpting.

Daniel Greenhouse, PhD
ghouse@berkeley.edu
Research Scientist
Cohn laboratory (web)

Research: Application of visual psychophysics and electrical engineering to human factors research in the field of transportation; invention and development of the field of ommatometry; investigation of binocular depth perception, saccadic suppression, and visual adaptation and retinal responses to visual display terminals.

James Maxwell, PhD
jsm@berkeley.edu
Associate Researcher
Schor laboratory (web)

Research: Neural control of eye movements: (1) adaptive mechanisms that ensure good binocular alignment of the eyes in three dimensions; (2) horizontal, vertical and cyclotorsional vergence; (3) vergence-saccade and vergence-pursuit interactions; and (4) otolith-ocular reflexes

Marilyn Schneck, PhD
mes@berkeley.edu
Research Scientist
Adams laboratory (web)

Research: (1) Application of psychophysical and electrophysiological techniques (EOG, ERG, mfERG, mfVEP) to assessment of eye disease, particularly that associated with diabetes, with the goal of early detection and identification of mechanisms and loci of disease action; (2) vision in the aged and its impact on and association with visual task performance and overall health and function; and (3) auditory/visual interactions in the aged.
