Team Gronert

The Gronert lab takes safety seriously. They are also interested in intrinsic protective circuits in ocular inflammatory, immune and wound healing responses.

Perception and Visual Cognition

Dr. Agostino Gibaldi of the Banks Lab is interested in extending models of sensory processing and oculo-motor behavior from laboratory settings to complex stimuli that more closely resemble real world conditions.

Adaptive Optics

Swati Bhargava from the Roorda lab. The question that motivates the research in the Roorda lab is, "how do humans convert the two-dimensional images that land on the retina into such a rich perceptual experience?"

Neural Activity In The Retina

Light that enters the eye activates rod and cone photoreceptors, which in turn activate retinal ganglion cells.
