Dr. Anthony Norcia

Biography

Anthony Norcia is a Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Stanford University. His research program centers on spatial vision, utilizing behavioral, oculomotor, electrophysiological, and functional MRI techniques to understand both normal and abnormal visual development. Over more than four decades, he has published extensively, contributing over 30 papers on normal visual developmental processes since 1977 and another 30 on abnormal visual development over the past 20 years. His expertise lies in the diagnostic classification and pathophysiology of binocular vision and developmental disorders. Norcia has developed numerous paradigms for the Visual Evoked Potentials, which serve as objective measures of sensory and cognitive function. His work on the integration of functional MRI with high-density EEG source imaging is particularly noteworthy, allowing for a precise relationship between brain electrical activity and visual areas with remarkable accuracy. Norcia has trained 18 post-doctoral fellows, many of whom have secured faculty positions, and continues to mentor graduate students. His commitment to research training is reflected in his significant role as a reader for numerous Ph.D. thesis committees at Stanford. In addition to his teaching and mentoring, he has received several honors, including the William Kettlewell Chair in Research Visual Science and the Catherine Doyle Kettlewell Chair at the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute.
