University of Chicago, Chicago, IL
Prof. Steven Shevell
2005-2007

- The project examined the possible relationship between changing perception during binocular rivalry and the perception of subsequent afterimages.
- Test human color vision and determine individual luminance values.
- Design and conduct a binocular rivalry experiment.
