Excited to share my new paper in @AnnualReviews! Check it out here: go.shr.lc/4dBivDU This review presents theoretical foundations and empirical data illustrating how the loss or damage of RGCs impacts central visual function in glaucoma. #VisionScience #Glaucoma #RGCs

MiYoung Kwon @TheKwonLab et al. @Northeastern investigate the impact of mesopic lighting conditions on reading vision of glaucoma patients. doi.org/10.1167/iovs.6…
Our recent work showing reading vision in early and intermediate AMD is further exacerbated under mesopic conditions. This finding is consistent with the presence of rod damage even in early AMD.
MiYoung Kwon @TheKwonLab & Cynthia Owsley @UABHeersink assessed differences in reading vision between photopic and mesopic conditions in early/intermediate AMD. doi.org/10.1167/tvst.1…
New findings on an old phenomenon (sensory adaptation) out in @PNASNews , summarized in 3 tweets. Work with @jbmattingley, @rebeccakwest, & @neuronomist 📄: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…
We are looking forward to an exciting GRC #EyeMovement meeting this year 👀 Check out our inspiring lineup and program below! Apply through the website and don't forget to send your trainees 😊 grc.org/eye-movements-… Please RT
🚨New Paper Alert!🚨 Take a look at @ZhetuoZ most recent publication from our lab, showing the existence of extra-retinal knowledge of gaze position at an ultra-fine scale! A collaboration with Ehud Ahissar, Jonathan D. Victor, and @RucciMichele nature.com/articles/s4146…
I am looking for a PhD student to start in Fall 2023 at @KhouryCollege focusing on the direction of 3D vision. Applicants from underrepresented groups are particularly welcome, where the college provides two-year fellowship support (domestic students only). Deadline is Dec 15.
Vision people! Before Twitter implodes, read about the first study by my amazing PhD student @emilyaizzeddin - how do we judge “upright” from natural image statistics?

Thank you @MartinRolfs for the wonderful talk and inspiring discussions @NortheasternCOS 🤩🥳
@MartinRolfs from @rolfslab presented his lab’s work today @Northeastern ! Afterwards we went for dinner, which was super fun 😊 thanks for @TheKwonLab for organising the event 🤓
Any recommendations will be appreciated @htcvive, @HTCUSA, @htc, @MetaQuestVR, @SteamVR, @GoogleARVR #VirtualReality
Hey #VisionScience #VirtualReality researchers, I wanted recommendations for VR headsets with a reasonable refresh rate and possibility of eye tracking. So far, the best ones seem to be HTC Vive Pro 2 & HTC Vive Pro Eye. Please let me know if you have any advice! Thanks.
Our recent paper "Foveal vision anticipates defining features of eye movement targets" is now out in @eLife! Find a beautiful pdf here: doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…
