Our team analyzes the aging process which gradually alters neurophysiological, perceptual, and cognitive aspects of vision within a synergistic context that has the potential to catalyze progress in both fundamental research and innovative technology transfer.

Our research activity relies on a number of state-of-the-art technological platforms, including the Streetlab, which allows us to carry out ecological-like behavioral experiments with people in situations of sensory deficit in a fully monitored controlled environment. We also develop a series of experimental platforms specific to our research areas, which will contribute to a unique know-how in the field of neurosensory aging. Innovative concepts will be made available to eye care providers for their professional development.

Research areas

• Epidemiological analysis of age-related loss of visual functions, their contributing factors, and their impact.
• Developing novel imaging and diagnostic systems and visual aids for the visually impaired.
