Biography

Rémy Allard focuses on the effect of aging on visual perception, particularly the mechanisms enabling movement perception. After training in computer science and mathematics, he completed a master's in Vision Sciences to model aging using artificial neural networks. He then earned a doctorate and completed two post-docs on the mechanisms underlying motion perception. Subsequently, he worked as a researcher at the Institut de la Vision in Paris, developing psychophysical tests to study aging's effects on contrast sensitivity and movement. These tests led to patents for diagnosing ocular pathologies and developing lenses enhancing visual perception. He is currently engaged in developing clinical tests to assess the functioning of retinal photoreceptors, facilitating early diagnosis of age-related macular degeneration.
