معرفی
Kathleen Mullen, PhD, is a Senior Scientist at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) at the Montreal General Hospital site and a Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at McGill University's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Her research is centered on understanding how the brain processes visual information, with a strong focus on colour vision, functional brain imaging (fMRI), and brain stimulation (TMS).
Research Focus: Mullen's work delves into the encoding and analysis of colour within the human brain, employing psychophysics, fMRI, and TMS to explore how the visual system interprets colour. She investigates colour vision deficits in diseases such as optic neuritis, glaucoma, and amblyopia.
Publications: Her recent publications span topics from fMRI-guided TMS studies of visual cortex specialization to behavioural and neural adaptation in colour contrast processing. These works reflect a deep engagement with both fundamental neuroscience and clinical applications.
