View To The U: Office Of The V.p., Research (utm)

To kick off this new season of VIEW to the U, we are picking up where we left off – with representation from UTM’s Department of Psychology – but this time around the featured guests are two new faculty members, Professors Anna Kosovicheva and Benjamin Wolfe, co-directors of the Applied Perception and Psychophysics Lab, or APPLY Lab, that was recently established at UTM. Anna and Ben are helping me launch the new season: “Without further ado” is the theme for the year, and throughout this season, I will introduce some of the new people from UTM’s vibrant and ever-growing research community. Over the course of this interview, Anna and Ben talk about their research in the APPLY lab, which focuses on how we take in information, particularly visual perception and overall how vision works, and the applications for activities such as driving and reading. We also talk about some of their out-of-the-lab pursuits and the creative ways they spend some of their free time. A full transcript of this interview is at h
