We are in the process of updating, please visit later. Thank you! We use psychophysics, computational modeling and fMRI to study the nature of motion processing in the human brain and the effects of brain lesions on visual motion perception in stroke patients. A continuously evolving snapshot of our research Samples of current research projects include: Complex Motion Processing and its Deficit First and Second Order Motion Processing and its Deficits Biological Motion Perception and its Deficits Deficits in the Perception of Discontinuities of Motion Cues Perceptual Learning and Restorative Plasticity after Stroke Eye Movements and Motion Perception The "Magic Hat" Project: Computational Vision Applied to Developing Aids for Visual Navigation Theoretical Engineering and Neuroinformatics The following are selected senior projects completed by undergraduate students in the Biomedical Engineering Department under the mentorship of Dr. Lucia M. Vaina: A Functional MRI Study of Visual Motion Perception in Humans - Rosalyn Año, B.S. 2004 Measuring Cross-modal Attention to Auditory and Visual Spatial Stimuli - Seton S. Schroeder, B.S. 2002 The Effects of Lesions on Sensory Motor Integration - David Schultz, B.S. 1999
