Dr. Jose Manuel Alonso's lab studies how our eyes process visual information, focusing specifically on two pathways that detect light and dark signals. Their research aims to understand how these pathways function in different lighting conditions, particularly in relation to myopia, a condition that causes blurred distance vision. By investigating neuronal responses with innovative techniques, the lab hopes to develop new strategies for preventing and treating myopia.

Dr. Robert M McPeek's lab studies how our eyes quickly and accurately fixate on objects in our environment. They focus on understanding how the brain selects targets for eye movements, especially in natural settings where we encounter many potential objects. Using advanced analysis techniques, their research aims to unveil the neural mechanisms behind eye movements, which are crucial for everyday tasks like reading, cooking, and driving.
