Abstracts Booklet
A leading expert in the areas of visual resolution, spatial vision, eye movements and binocular vision, Harold Bedell graduated in 1978 from the University of Florida with a PhD in experimental psychology. Previously, he obtained his BSc and MSc degrees at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. Upon completion of his doctorate, he spent two years at the University of California Berkeley, School of Optometry, and conducted post-doctoral research on visual functioning in persons with amblyopia.
Prof Bedell’s research focuses primarily on the relationships between eye movements and visual perception, both during normal vision and in individuals whose eye-movement control is impaired.
Prof Bedell also currently holds the title of Visiting Professor at Anglia Ruskin University where he has been involved in a successful and long-standing research collaboration with the Department of Vision and Hearing Sciences. His talk will describe some of this research on contour interaction and crowding.
