We develop, refine, and evaluate new paradigms for assessing visual function in patients with retinal and optic nerve diseases, building on our continuously expanding understanding of retinal signal processing. In addition, we apply machine learning and advanced data analysis methods to enhance the evaluation of established assessment techniques.
