Duje Tadin

Duje Tadin is a Professor of Brain & Cognitive Sciences, Ophthalmology, Neuroscience, and Center for Visual Science at the University of Rochester. He serves as Interim Dean of the School of Arts & Sciences and Director of Training at the Center for Visual Science. His research focuses on neural mechanisms of visual perception, including motion processing, neuroplasticity, and visual restoration in neurological disorders. Tadin holds a PhD from Vanderbilt University (2004) and leads interdisciplinary studies combining psychophysics, neuroimaging, and computational modeling.

His work examines how sensory inputs are integrated into perceptual decisions, with particular emphasis on autism spectrum disorder, aging, and stroke recovery. Key contributions include demonstrating neural reorganization in cortical blindness and identifying perceptual inefficiencies linked to cognitive impairments. Tadin’s lab uses virtual reality to assess motor and visual functions in clinical populations.

Recent articles explore optic flow dynamics in steering tasks, somatosensory processing differences in autism, and binocular rivalry under naturalistic conditions. Awards and recognitions are not explicitly listed in the provided text. His research has implications for clinical interventions, educational policy, and human factors engineering.
