About Us
Applied Perception & Psychophysics LaboratorY (APPLY)
Our lab is in the Psychology Department at the University of Toronto Mississauga. We study visual perception and its application to real-world problems. The lab is run by Dr. Benjamin Wolfe and Dr. Anna Kosovicheva, housing their specific research programs, and takes a use-inspired approach to vision science and cognitive psychology research, looking to the world for problems that can benefit from a vision science approach and that can, in turn, tell us about how visual perception works. Research areas include:
- Vision and driving (Dr. Wolfe)
- Localization and Individual Differences (Dr. Kosovicheva)
- Visual impairments (Dr. Kosovicheva)
- Digital readability (Dr. Kosovicheva and Dr. Wolfe)
