Anglia Vision Research – (Ph.D.)

Anglia Vision Research group consists of academic staff with a wealth of international experience in research, research training and teaching in optometry and vision sciences from the Universities of Cambridge, Cardiff, Indiana, Houston, McGill, and Melbourne. Our researchers have a history of publication in high ranking vision science and optometry journals and have attracted grants from research councils, charitable trusts and industry.

Our research interests lie in understanding basic processes and neural mechanisms of normal visual perception in areas of spatio-temporal vision, image processing, colour vision, stereopsis and binocular vision. As trained clinicians we are also interested in understanding how visual mechanisms differ in developing, aging, anomalous, or diseased visual systems. We aim to apply scientific principles to our understanding of such clinical conditions and to develop new diagnostic or therapeutic tools.

Primarily, our research uses psychophysical tools of investigation; however we plan to develop visual electrophysiology in parallel within our research laboratories, to enhance our ability to address scientific and clinical questions. Our coherent group continues to be strengthened and invigorated by a growing PhD student base. We have firm links with Addenbrooke's hospital in paediatric eyecare and electrophysiology, as well as with research groups at the University of Cambridge.
