In the UCSB Psychology Department,
Professors Eckstein,
Foley, and Loomis
study human visual performance with particular emphases on how optical
information is analyzed to extract a representation of a scene, while
Professors Jacobs
and Reese study
the biology of vision and its relation to behavior. These faculty have
active research laboratories and are well funded by extramural agencies.
Together, the vision science faculty and students in the Psychology department
function as an informal research group that bridges between the formally
defined Cognitive
and Perceptual Sciences and Neuroscience
and Behavior graduate programs.
