The Perception Lab

The lab is located on the 3rd floor of the Clement building in the 345/347 suite. There is one main room, 5 satellite rooms for setting up equipment and running experiments, and a small shop.

The main room contains a large variety of equipment, instruments, and assessments for studying visual perception and visual-spatial skills.  These include:

• Lab-dedicated computers.
• Two large optical benches.
• Luminance meter and sound level meter.
• National Instruments D/A hardware and software.
• Optics and filters large and small.
• Low and high contrast visual acuity charts, color vision tests.
• Stereo microscope and attached video camera (spiders!)
• Neuropsychological assessments

These facilities were outfitted in part thanks to generous grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.

The lab runs on MATLAB, Python, and R.
