Byron Johnson, PhD

Byron Johnson studies vision perception and eye movements of people with low vision. Byron uses psychophysics and eye tracking methods to study how low vision impacts visual exploration behavior in lab and real-world settings. Byron uses mobile eye tracking to capture eye, head, and body movements and to determine how lab based experiments can generalize to the real-world. Byron is also interested in studying how features of real-world scenes can be used to predict where people look, particularly for people with low vision.

Byron received his PhD in Psychological & Brain Sciences from the University of California, Santa Barbara where he studied the effects of low and prosthetic vision conditions on scene understanding and eye movements.
