Dr. Israel Abramov is a Professor of Psychology at Brooklyn College and holds joint appointments at the CUNY Graduate Center in Cognition, Brain and Behavior and Biopsychology and Behavioral Neuroscience. His research focuses on color vision, visual perception, and infant visual development, with significant contributions to understanding gender differences in vision, retinal ganglion cell properties, and applications in museum lighting.
Key educational milestones include an LL.B. in Law (1959) and B.A. in Psychology (1961) from University College London, followed by a Ph.D. in Physiological Psychology (1967) from Indiana University Bloomington. His academic career spans postdoctoral work in biophysics at Johns Hopkins and faculty roles at Rockefeller University and Brooklyn College since 1973.
His 15 most recent articles (2012-2003) reveal a focus on color vision mechanisms, peripheral retinal function, and visual developmental disorders like Down Syndrome. Collaborative work with J. Gordon and others explores museum lighting optimization, infant ocular motor control, and chromatic adaptation in both healthy and clinical populations.
Lab affiliations include interdisciplinary collaborations with CUNY Graduate Center researchers and institutions like SUNY College of Optometry. While no formal scientific awards are documented in the provided text, his publications in high-impact journals and book chapters underscore his influence in visual neuroscience.
