Courses
The courses listed below are of particular interest to students pursuing
the Ph.D. degree.
30100. Fundamentals of Ophthalmology
Ernest and Staff
Introduces the principles and concepts of ophthalmology.
32000. Color Vision
Shevell
Mechanisms and theories of color vision. Topics include basic physiological
mechanisms underlying color vision, neural coding of color information,
and results from human psychophysical experiments that relate to quantitative
descriptions and theories of color perception.
33800. Visual Psychophysics
J. Pokorny, V. Pokorny
Critical flicker fusion, two-pulse resolution, normal color vision, luminosity
function, and related areas. Limited to one student at any one time, by
personal arrangement.
34300. Ocular Physiology
Ernest
The general physiology of the eye with special emphasis on its vascular
circulation. The control of the choroidal blood flow by the autonomic
nervous system will be contrasted with the autoregulation of the retinal
blood flow.
39000. Vision
J. Pokorny, V. Pokorny
The visual process is analyzed, with emphasis on psychophysical data.
Where appropriate, these data are correlated with the anatomy, photochemistry,
and electrophysiology of the visual system. Topics include psychophysical
methodology, dark adaptation, spatial factors, temporal factors, and color
vision.
40000. Research in Ophthalmology and Visual Science
Staff
Opportunity for selected students to participate in laboratory and clinical
research studies. By arrangement.
41200. Advanced Topics in Color Vision
J. Pokorny, V. Pokorny, Shevell
Comprehensive coverage of experimental design, instrumentation, calibration,
and modeling of both peripheral and central mechanisms of color vision.
Open only to students actively engaged in color vision research. Prereq:
Consent of instructor.
