GRADUATE PROGRAM IN NEUROSCIENCE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS*
The Graduate Program in Neuroscience at the University of California,
Davis offers interdisciplinary training in areas from molecular to
cognitive neuroscience. Numerous training and research opportunities
exist for students interested in vision science. Faculty from several
departments (Psychology; Neurobiology, Physiology & Behavior;
Electrical Engineering) draw upon a combination of psychophysical,
neurophysiological, and computational approaches to vision. Research
facilities in the Center for Neuroscience and elsewhere on campus
provide an excellent environment for exploring vision-related
problems.
Vision-science faculty include:
Ken Britten - extra-striate visual cortex, neural basis of motion perception
Leo Chalupa - retina neurophysiology, development
Barbara Chapman - visual development, plasticity
Charles Gray - cortical mechanisms of pattern recognition, rhythmic activity
Andrew Ishida - retinal ganglion cells, synaptic integration
Ron Mangun - visual attention, cognitive neuroimaging
Bruno Olshausen - computational models of vision, efficient coding
Robert Post - spatial orientation and motion perception, eye movements
Robert Rafal - neuropsychology of visual attention
Todd Reed - image processing, wavelets, multiscale transforms
Lynn Robertson - spatial vision, object recognition, hemispheric differences
Martin Wilson - synaptic transmission in the retina

*Davis is located approximately 15 miles west of Sacramento, the state
capitol. It is a unique community with miles of bicycle paths and
beautiful parks, and in close proximity to the Napa and Sonoma wine
country, the San Francisco bay area, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National
Park in the High Sierra.
