Stanley Klein is a Professor Emeritus at UC Berkeley's School of Optometry. His research interests primarily focus on high resolution neuroscience and human psychophysics, utilizing advanced techniques such as Austin Roorda’s adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope (AOSLO). Klein has contributed to the understanding of fine-grained spatio-temporal-chromatic nonlinear visual processing, an area that has benefited from the unique capabilities of AOSLO which began to be fully realized in 2012. His laboratory conducts psychophysical experiments to investigate multiple stages of visual processing, exploring the role of perceptual learning, attention, and binocular interactions. Additionally, Klein has developed new approaches in nonlinear systems analysis that localize visual evoked potential (VEP) sources by combining MRI and fMRI, thus achieving much greater temporal resolution in identifying the neural generators in the visual cortex. Klein's work facilitated significant advancements in understanding of the visual system's spatial filters and their interactions, making contributions to both clinical research and basic science in vision studies.
