What do visual prosthesis users see, and why? Clinical studies have shown that the vision provided by current devices differs substantially from normal sight.
Hannah Stone is a PhD student in the Bionic Vision Lab at UC Santa Barbara. She previously worked at the Brain Development and Education Lab at Stanford University, where she analyzed the visual processing of text and the flexible effects of task in the human frontal cortex. Prior to that, she worked at the University of Rochester’s Marmolab, examining the top-down effects of attention on the oculomotor system and early visual processing.
Hannah is interested in how biological visual systems respond to artificial inputs, specifically how the visual system processes and consciously interprets these signals.
Outside of the lab, Hannah can be found painting, surfing, and exploring Santa Barbara on her bike.
