Accessibly of Conversational Agents with Deaf or Blind Users
Using small focus groups, this work aims to understand the experiences, challenges, perceptions, and opportunities for the use of conversational agents (e.g Amazon Alexa and Siri) for users with visual or hearing impairments, with the goal of developing more accessible and inclusive systems.

Remote testing for psychophysical studies of sensory perception and cognition
The purpose of this study is (1) to understand how the brain processes sensory information and (2) how this is affected by factors like blindness or synesthesia.

Investigating Face Processing Behavior and Neural Circuitry
The ability to recognize faces differs across people. We are studying this variability in behavior and in brain responses in young adults (ages 18-25 years) in the Lab of Developmental Neuroscience at Penn State. If eligible, you will do face recognition tasks on the computer and answer survey questions. You may also be asked to participate in another session in which we take pictures of your brain using MRI. Volunteers are paid $10/hr for time in the lab. Interested participants can start the screening processing by clicking on this confidential screening link here:

How do cues from the environment affect sound perception?
This study is about investigating how certain elements of urban
configuration affects people's subjective perception of noise in urban
environments.
This section of the study assesses participants' subjective reactions to
noise intensity when the tree density changes in various spaces.

A SINGLE-CENTER, DOUBLE-ARM, PROSPECTIVE CLINICAL TRIAL TO COMPARE VISUAL PERFORMANCE OF NON-DIFFRACTIVE EXTENDED DEPTH OF FOCUS AND NEUTRAL ASPHERIC MONOFOCAL INTRAOCULAR LENSES
Compare the vision of subjects that receive one of two FDA approved intraocular lenses (IOLs) in both eyes, the Alcon Vivity or Bausch & Lomb enVista. You will be followed by research, 1 and 3 months after your second cataract surgery is performed.

Defining the role of slow eye movements on limb motor control
The purpose of the study is to examine how slow eye movements called smooth-pursuit eye movements, contribute to hand-eye coordination. Participants will grasp a robotic manipulandum and using the manipulandum interact with virtual visual stimuli in an augmented-reality environment.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and psychophysical studies of sensory perception and cognition
The purpose of this study is (1) to understand how the brain processes sensory information and (2) how this is affected by factors like blindness or synesthesia. In addition to behavioral testing, the study will use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) which enables us to take pictures of the brain while you are doing a task, using an instrument called an MRI scanner.

Characterizing the Visual Pathway in Epilepsy
This research is being done to determine whether the way your brain processes vision is involved in the epilepsy disease process. There has been recent evidence suggesting that epilepsy patients, compared to healthy controls, have thinner retinas, specifically a layer called the retinal nerve fiber layer, the inner most layer of the retina. This study will expand on that finding by investigating any differences in all of the retinal layers, as well as visual function, between epilepsy patients and healthy controls.
