该领域的教师研究视觉感知的大脑机制，并开发感知过程的模型。特别地，物理以及虚拟的视觉刺激被用于检查人类如何感知3D面部和场景。与精神分裂症研究中心罗格斯分校的教授和临床医生合作，该学院探索了对照组和精神病患者在视觉感知上的差异，以设计诊断精神分裂症的方法并评估治疗方法的有效性。
Faculty in this area study brain mechanisms in visual perception and develop models for perceptual processes. In particular, physical, as well as virtual, visual stimuli is used to examine how humans perceive 3-D faces and scenes. In collaboration with professors and clinicians of the Rutgers Division of Schizophrenia Research, the faculty explores differences in visual perception between controls and mental patients to design method for diagnosing schizophrenia and to assess the efficacy of therapeutic treatments.
