Projects
Some of the projects ongoing in the lab
How can AR assist people with low vision?
We are developing new application in which augmented reality glasses (i.e., Hololens) can be used to assist people with low vision in tasks like mobility and shopping. This is a collaboration with Dr. Joel Lanir.

Perceptual Learning and Appearance
This project examines whether and how learning perceptual tasks shapes our perceptual experience. How stimulus appears, often does not match the true physical stimulus and may be distorted. This relationship, between a physical stimulus and its appearance, stands at the center of psychophysics. Yet, surprisingly little is known about how PL alters appearance.
Students: Charlie Burlingham; Anna Pinchuk
Who said that?
This project examines how to assist people with low vision during meetings with multiple participants. This is a collaboration with Dr. Joel Lanir.
Students: Mor Fingerman
She still seems angry: Perception of emotions in autism
We are testing how people with autism process emotional expressions and whether and how they are able to understand that an emotion has changed.
Students: Renana Twito
Improving employment for people with intellectual disabilities using video prompts
This project examines whether and how people with intellectual disabilities can use video prompts to perform multi-step tasks and learn new tasks without assistance.
Students: Tanweer Milhem
How do perceptual priors develop in children?
As adults our perception is already shaped by years of perceptual experience, that bias our perception to stimuli we have experienced. Here we examine how these distortions in perception develop over childhood.
