Dr. Port's research interests are centered on using the visual-saccadic system as a model for how the nervous system processes sensory information and produces action. His laboratory is currently following two lines of research. The first line studies the underlying neurophysiology of how we maintain a stable visual world while the nervous system scans the visual world with saccadic eye movements every third of a second. The second line of research tests whether mathematical models of information processing and decision-making accurately describe the underlying neurophysiological computations.
