Welcome!

EyeLab is a research facility committed to the comprehensive study of eye movements and their multifaceted implications. Our research capitalizes on various oculomotor matrices to assess brain functions, acknowledging that our brain anticipates the direction of our eye movements. We utilize techniques such as patching and non-invasive direct current stimulation to alter brain activity and examine its influence on eye movement.

Supplementing our primary focus, the EyeLab at Midwestern University, under the leadership of Dr. Suraj Upadhyaya, employs sensory systems, especially vision, as models to delve into the broader functionality of the brain. Our principal interest is in deciphering visual motor processing. We utilize a range of psychophysical techniques to investigate advanced visual motor processing functions such as saccades, microsaccades, fixation stability, latency, speed, and accuracy.

In collaboration with TVSLab, we explore perceptual learning and non-invasive brain stimulation methods, including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Direct Current Stimulation (DCS). Our aim is to research potential treatments for deficits in cortical visual processing in adults.

EyeLab embodies a holistic approach to understanding and enhancing visual motor processing and neurodevelopmental outcomes.
