Biography

Associate Professor Sieu Khuu's research program primarily focuses on visual perception, with an emphasis on cognitive visual neuroscience. His work seeks to understand the computational rules underlying the extraction and processing of visual information and how this information is utilized by the visual system to aid visually guided behavior. His research primarily revolves around quantifying human perception using visual psychophysics, aiming to measure how sensitive the visual system is in detecting various visual attributes. He conducts experimental research with cross-disciplinary implications, incorporating insights from neuroscience, psychology, and optometry. Some of his current projects explore the mechanisms of local and global form motion estimates and the role of visual awareness in these processes. Khuu's commitment to improving clinical practices is evident in his development of psychophysical tasks aimed at diagnosing and remediating visual deficits, particularly those arising from neurotoxicity due to exposure to organic solvents. He supervises a range of students engaged in significant research projects that deepen the understanding of human visual perception and eye health.
