Biography

Patrick J. Bennett is a Professor and Canada Research Chair in Vision Science at McMaster University. His research focuses on visual perception, including pattern vision, psychophysics, and perceptual learning and development. He investigates the effects of aging on vision and employs neuroimaging techniques alongside evoked potentials in his studies. Bennett has contributed significantly to the understanding of the ideal observer theory and its applications in visual processing. His work aims to bridge the gap between experimental psychology and practical implications in vision science, helping to enhance understanding of how visual information is interpreted across different ages and conditions.
