About Us
Welcome to the Center for Visual Science (CVS) at the University of Rochester. CVS was founded in 1963 by Robert M. Boynton to bring together scientists from a variety of disciplines with the common goal of pursuing excellence in vision research. CVS consists of over 40 research laboratories that include faculty from the departments of:
- Biomedical engineering
- Brain and cognitive sciences
- Computer science
- Flaum Eye Institute
- Neurology
- Neuroscience
- Institute of Optics
- Psychiatry
- plus the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology
These laboratories represent a diverse range of studies that span the development of the visual system to the interaction between visual perception and memory. Our investigators employ an equally diverse set of approaches, from molecular genetics and cellular biology to neurophysiology and psychophysics.
We invite you to explore the website to learn more about the laboratories, people and facilities that make CVS a vibrant and exciting scientific community. The Center for Visual Science is affiliated with a number of collaborative research efforts both within and outside the university.
