Alex Baldwin
My research focuses on the study of visual perception through human behavioural experiments and computer modelling. I create tasks using psychophysical methods. These test our ability to process visual information. I can then investigate the mechanism by which the brain performs this task. I do so by comparing the data against mathematical and computational models of visual processing. I develop these models based on findings from previous psychophysics, physiology, and neuroimaging studies.

He completed his PhD at McMaster University, then did post-doctoral training at Harvard Medical School. His lab at Dalhousie investigates factors that govern development of the visual system, and that regulate neural plasticity across the lifespan. He and his collaborators have leveraged principles of synaptic plasticity to develop a novel treatment for amblyopia that involves pharmacological retinal inactivation.

Dr. Lisa Christian is a Clinical Professor at the School of Optometry & Vision Science at the University of Waterloo. Her clinical and academic work focuses on pediatric eye care, binocular vision, and vision development across childhood. She is interested in the diagnosis and management of binocular vision disorders, amblyopia, and other pediatric visual conditions, as well as advancing interprofessional education in eye care.
Vallabh Das
La version française de cette page sera disponible prochainement. En attendant, le contenu est présenté en anglais. Dr. Vallabh Das is a Professor at the College of Optometry, University of Houston. His research investigates the neural mechanisms underlying binocular vision, eye movement control, and strabismus. Using electrophysiology, behavioural paradigms, and non-human primate models, he studies how abnormal visual experience disrupts the development and function of oculomotor and visual pathways. His work aims to identify the neural circuits responsible for binocular dysfunction and to advance the development of evidence-based therapies for strabismus and amblyopia.
