Goals, objectives, and emphasis of the program
|
The Graduate Program in Vision Science offers both MS and PhD degrees. These degree programs prepare students for careers in teaching and research in vision science, optometry, ophthalmology, psychology, bioengineering, human factors, neurobiology, cell biology, and other disciplines. The program combines the study of the fundamentals of the vision sciences, the study of advanced topics, and a research program selected and conducted with the guidance of faculty members of the program. Areas of specialization include visual psychophysics, the neurophysiology of vision, ocular physiology, visual development, physiology and psychophysics of visual disorders, visuomotor mechanisms, machine vision, and applied vision. Areas related to human factors engineering include visual requirements for vehicle guidance, detection and identification of warning signals, data compression and computer graphics, and more. The program enthusiastically supports teaching and research on applied problems in vision science.
