GAP members participate in the 14th National Colour Congress with five scientific presentations and posters.
From June 18 to 20, 2025, several members of the Research Group on Applied Psychophysics (GAP) participated in the 14th National Colour Congress, held at the Centro Universitario de Mérida (University of Extremadura). This multidisciplinary congress covered topics ranging from psychophysics and colour vision to applications in design, food, and digital art, providing a space rich in scientific and cultural exchange.
GAP researchers presented their work both orally and in poster format, contributing relevant and current research in the fields of visual perception and education:
-
Paula García Balaguer presented the poster “Repeatability of the spatial-chromatic contrast sensitivity function in a new psychophysical test,” showing advances in the validation of a test developed for her doctoral thesis.
-
Alba Herrero Gracia presented the poster “Alterations in Colour Vision in Parkinson’s Disease,” addressing important aspects of vision in neurodegenerative diseases.
-
María Amparo Díez Ajenjo gave an oral presentation titled “Research in the field of colour by young optometry researchers: SIYO congress,” reflecting on the participation and development of young researchers in the field.
-
Mari Carmen García Domene presented the poster “Understanding dichromacy in the classroom: computer simulations with the D15 test,” an educational approach to improving understanding of dichromacy.
-
María Josefa Luque Cobija presented the poster “ColorAnalysis, a colorimetric tool for teaching laboratories in analytical chemistry. Pilot project,” showcasing a practical application for chemistry education.
GAP thanks the Colour Committee of SEDOPTICA and the Orion Research Group at the University of Extremadura for organizing a congress that combines scientific rigor with cultural experiences, facilitating exchange and collaboration among researchers. Our group’s participation reaffirms our commitment to interdisciplinary research and innovation in the field of colour.
