Kathy T. Mullen

Kathy T. Mullen obtained her B.S. degree from Oxford University, UK, and her Ph.D. degree from Cambridge University, UK (1984). She continued her research at Cambridge University, Physiological Laboratory, holding a fellowship at New Hall College Cambridge and a Royal Society University Research Fellowship. In 1990, she moved to McGill University and as part of a new research group established the Department of Ophthalmology, devoted to the investigation of vision. The McGill Vision Research Group is one of the premier vision research groups in North America and includes areas of basic research on how the adult brain sees motion, form, depth, and color in the visual scene. Her clinical areas of research include amblyopia (lazy eye) and the consequences of disrupting visual function in childhood. The research approaches span different areas of visual neuroscience including human visual psychophysics, animal neurophysiology and optical imaging, computational approaches, human fMRI brain imaging, TMS, and clinical psychophysics. Professor Mullen has published extensively in the areas of human color vision, motion, form, and depth perception, visual development, effects of light exposure, optic neuritis, and in human fMRI imaging.
