Visual and Clinical Neuroscience Lab

Vision is the most important sensory system and it is much more than meets the eye. It affects every aspect of our lives, from basic perception of the world to communication, cognition and executive functions. Here at Bar Ilan University, at Optometry and Vision Science we bridge between clinical aspects of vision and brain research. We investigate a spectrum of visual functions from the physiological aspects of the retina to visual cortical functions. These include normal and abnormal vision, retinal and oculomotor aspects, perception, psychophysics and brain responses using multiple techniques (EEG, eye tracking, fMRI, and MRI). We also investigate rehabilitation and visual enhancements methods.
