In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns known as the "cone mosaic." Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science ...

Vision science addresses the full chain of events that transform light from the environment into meaningful percepts. The optical subsystem of the eye—comprising the cornea, crystalline lens, pupil ...

The VSRC has the specific goal of creating an internationally recognized center of excellence in vision science, which, by its research and related activities, will constitute a major resource for the ...

The Visual Sciences Training Program (VSTP) is comprised of a multi-disciplinary vision sciences research community at Case Western Reserve University. This program is funded by a T32 Training Grant ...

Teaching/research interests: Ocular Disease Detection and Diagnosis; Vision Science; Epidemiology and Biostatistics; Geometric and Visual Optics; Advanced Retinal Imaging; Retinal biomarkers for early ...

Researchers identified a retinal disease to evaluate the success of gene and cell replacement therapy. In the retinas of human eyes, the cones are photoreceptor cells responsible for color vision, ...

The Vision Sciences Society (VSS) recently held its annual meeting in St. Pete Beach, FL, where hundreds of vision scientists presented their cutting-edge research into the human visual system. Being ...

Researchers have found a significant improvement in the peripheral awareness of people who played computer games specially designed around using peripheral vision. This finding opens up the ...
