Vision

We conduct research to understand the human visual system and how it is used to help us perceive and interpret information from images and the environment. The Multidisciplinary Vision Research Laboratory (MVRL) is a research collaboration between the Carlson Center for Imaging Science and the RIT Psychology department. Undergraduate and graduate students from both programs work closely with faculty from CIS and psychology in a number of research projects.
