My research focuses on visual processing in low-vision and sight-restored individuals. Such individuals often have difficulty in processing moving stimuli as well as in peceptually completing fragmented or incomplete visual information. In the laboratory, we are studying brain mechanisms of visual motion and perceptual completion processes and how these may be facilitated by adding acoustic signals. If effective, this cross-modal approach would be a cost-effective and accesible vision rehabilitation tool.
