The Visual Action Lab (VAL)
We are a vision science lab led by Dr. Ben Chin at the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
If you are looking for a lab to join, consider checking out our research and publications to decide whether we might be a good fit. We specialize in the study of human vision–both the perceptual and oculomotor aspects of it.
You may reach the PI via email at bmccis [AT] rit [DOT] edu.
