Overview
My PhD research will involve using eye tracking and psychophysical techniques to study how visual perception is affected in nystagmus - a condition which results in a continuous ‘to-and-fro’ movement of the eyes - in order to evaluate novel methods for testing vision in individuals with nystagmus. I will also be using neuroimaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural pathways involved in mediating eye movements in nystagmus, in the hope of better understanding the neural underpinnings of this condition.
