Steven K. Shevell

Steven K. Shevell is the Eliakam Hastings Moore Distinguished Service Professor of Psychology and Ophthalmology & Visual Science at the University of Chicago. He is affiliated with the graduate programs in Computational Neuroscience and Integrative Neuroscience, and has served as chair of the latter. His research focuses on visual perception, chromatic adaptation, and neural mechanisms underlying color and form processing.

• Education: B.A. in Psychology from Stanford University, M.S. in Engineering, M.A. in Statistics, and Ph.D. in Mathematical Psychology from the University of Michigan

Shevell's work explores chromatic ambiguity in mid-level vision, neural mechanisms of color perception, and feature-binding errors in visual processing. His research has been funded by NIH grants (R01EY026618, R01EY004802) and spans topics like binocular rivalry, color motion integration, and perceptual grouping.

Recent publications address divisive normalization in ambiguous neural representations, interocular similarity grouping, and chromatic adaptation's role in visual processing. His contributions to journals include founding associate editor of the Journal of Vision and editor of the Optical Society of America's The Science of Color.
