Dr. Jorge Otero Millan

Biography

Jorge Otero-Millan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Optometry and Vision Science at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on ocular motor control and the functioning of the ocular motor system. He investigates how the brain coordinates eye movements to perceive motion and maintain a stable view of the world. His work encompasses the intricacies of vestibular ocular reflexes and the interplay of various neural networks in visual perception. Otero-Millan is particularly interested in understanding the mechanisms behind eye movements and their critical role in clinical diagnosis and patient care. He aims to enhance the measurement and analysis of eye movements, exploring biases and limitations in current methods and devices used for tracking eye positions. As eye movement recording technologies become increasingly integrated into consumer devices such as smartphones and virtual reality headsets, he sees significant potential for developing diagnostic tools to help assess disorders affecting vision and cognition.
