Brian Wandell is the Isaac and Madeline Stein Family Professor of
Psychology, Stanford University and is a member of the National
Academy of Sciences. His research projects focus on how we see. His
research includes such topics as visual disorders, reading development
in children, and digital imaging devices and algorithms. The Wandell
lab is carrying out a longitudinal study using diffusion tensor
imaging and functional imaging to measure the development of
structures and signals in visual cortex in children, ages 8-12, as
they become skilled readers. In recent years, Dr. Wandell was named
Electronic Imaging Scientist of the Year by the Society for Optical
Engineering, Electronic Imaging and Technology Science (SPIE/IS&T) and
awarded the Tillyer Prize from the Optical Society of America.
