VISUAL EVALUATION MODELS & TOOLS


In collaboration with colleagues at the University of California, San Diego, and the University of Southern California, new efficient testing methods have been developed using Bayesian estimation methods.  These tests included the YES/NO Threshold, and the Threshold versus Contrast Functions.

 

This research has been supported by the National Institutes of Mental Health and the National Science Foundation and/or the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.
