Vision & Psychosis Lab

This site is being phased out! Please visit the new page: www.urmc.rochester.edu/labs/keane.aspx

Our brains are faced with the formidable challenge of having to parse and make sense of a kaleidoscope of incoming visual information.  Healthy people segment scenes effortlessly but people with psychosis exhibit specific impairments linked to diagnosis, symptom severity, premorbid functioning, and age of onset.  A major goal of the Keane Vision & Psychosis Lab is to harness tools of behavioral psychophysics and functional neuroimaging to understand the neural and information processes that underlie visual object perception, both in healthy and psychotic populations. 

The lab is currently recruiting undergraduate research assistants and graduate students for Spring 2021!   Please email the Principal Investigator, Brian Keane, if you are interested.
