Robert Duncan is Assistant Research Scientist in the Department of Ophthalmology. He received his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of California, San Diego. He subsequently completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies where he studied the physiological underpinnings of visual and tactile resolution using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Dr. Duncan's primary research interest is cognitive neuroscience, including the study of neurodegeneration and plasticity in response to visual disorders. Expertise in several techniques to investigate visual behavior including psychophysics, extracellular electrophysiology, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), laser interferometry, and various clinical measures of visual performance and optic disk structure.
