|
Blake's influential work artfully blends psychophysics, comparative psychology, neural modeling and brain imaging to study important aspects of perception including binocular vision, motion perception, visual grouping, multisensory integration and synesthesia. Besides advancing our understanding of perception and its neural bases, his work bears on clinical conditions including autism and schizophrenia. |

Research Interests
|
|
Throughout his career, Randolph Blake has maintained an enduring interest in human visual perception and its neural concomitants. Together with lab members and colleagues, he has studied perception using complementary techniques including psychophysics, neural modeling and brain imaging. Early in his career, Blake published a series of papers on vision in the cat that established close links between cat spatial vision and anatomical and physiological properties of neurons within the cat's retina |
