Group for Applied Psychophysics - GAP

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2020-476

 
Description of research activity:
The group works on clinical and technological applications of the Physics of Vision (psychophysical physiological optics and mathematical models of visual processing), without neglecting basic research in this field. The three main working lines are: Basic research in vision: Obtaining information on the structure and function of the visual system from psychophysical experiments. Modelling of visual processes. Applications to clinical psychophysics, with two different working lines: Development of psychophysical tests for detection, screening or classification of vision problems: Evaluation of existing devices. Analysis of respectability, sensitivity, specificity in normal and pathological populations. Study of measurement distortion factors. Analysis of concordance between devices. Technological applications of Vision Sciences: Characterisation of image capture and display devices. Development of specific colourimetric characterisation methods (point-to-point methods). Applications of image display devices as generators of visual stimuli in clinical psychophysical tests. Applications of image capture devices as colorimeters. Applications of colour measurement in green...The group works on clinical and technological applications of the Physics of Vision (psychophysical physiological optics and mathematical models of visual processing), without neglecting basic research in this field.

Applications of image display devices as generators of visual stimuli in clinical psychophysical tests. Applications of image capture devices as colorimeters. Applications of colour measurement in green chemistry, for estimation of chemical parameters correlated with the colour of samples. Characterisation of optical elements. Development of protocols for measuring optical quality in vitro. Measurement of optical and visual quality of intraocular lenses. Clinical applications for the improvement of visual function in patients. Basic studies and development of applications, especially aimed at amblyopia (lazy eye), to determine which stimuli would favour concordance with the dominant eye.
