Dr. Lawrence Cormack

Biography

Larry Cormack is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, where he is an active member of the Center for Perceptual Systems. He received his B.S. with Highest Honors in Psychology from the University of Florida in 1986 and his Ph.D. in Physiological Optics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1992. Dr. Cormack's primary research interest focuses on the brain processes involved in motion perception within three-dimensional environments. His work addresses key topics of behavioral importance, including binocular perception of depth and the perception of two-dimensional motion. Dr. Cormack is also interested in natural scene statistics and its relation to the evolution of the visual system, particularly in the context of depth and motion processing. He predominantly teaches graduate-level statistics courses, alongside courses on computer simulations, contributing his expertise to enhance students' understanding of perceptual systems.
