Dr. Cormack's primary research interest has been in contrast processing in stereoscopic vision, which is a good "model" system in which to study how the brain combines signals in general. Recently, he and Scott Stevenson (of the University of Houston) have been explicitly generalizing models of contrast processing in stereopsis to the domains of spatial vision and motion perception. Dr. Cormack is also exploring some properties of motion perception via a novel illusion discovered in his laboratory. Finally, Dr. Cormack, in collaboration with fellow CPS member Alan Bovik, has been investigating the image properties that attract gaze when viewing natural scenes and when searching for targets imbedded in naturalistic noise. Dr. Cormack is Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at UT and Adjunct Associate Professor of Vision Science at the University of Houston.
