Welcome to Our Vision Lab
The Vision Lab at Georgia Tech is housed in the
historic Coon Building, on the corner of Ferst and Cherry Streets.
In the Vision
Lab we focus on the role of perception
and attention in how humans search for target information and make
sense of the world around them. We use both psychophysical
methods and computational models to unravel the underlying mechanisms
of perception and attention. This theoretical research
is closely tied with applied research in which we examine how perceptual
and attentional factors interact with program visualizations that
are designed to teach computer algorithms and how the fusion of
visual and auditory information can synergistically enhance perception
and performance. We collaborate with
researchers from other disciplines (e.g., computer science and neurology)
in our research efforts.
The National Science Foundation currently funds some of our research.
