Biography

Jorge Otero-Millan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Optometry and Vision Science at the University of California, Berkeley. His research interests focus on the ocular motor control system and understanding how the brain processes moving visual information. He investigates how eye movements contribute to stable vision despite head movements, and explores new methods for accurately measuring eye movements, including torsional eye position. His work aims to enhance the diagnosis of disorders affecting vision, cognitive functions, and motor control, utilizing advanced eye movement recording technologies. Jorge's lab is dedicated to understanding the complex interplay between eye movements and visual perception, particularly in relation to the vestibular ocular reflex and its role in real-world scenarios. His contributions to the field include developing approaches to measure and analyze eye movements for both clinical applications and consumer technologies, such as smartphones and augmented reality headsets.
