معرفی
Rémy Allard is an Assistant Professor at the School of Optometry, University of Montréal, specializing in psychophysics of vision. His research examines aging effects on visual perception, particularly motion perception mechanisms and clinical test development for retinal function assessment. With interdisciplinary training spanning computer science, mathematics, and vision sciences, he develops psychophysical tests to study contrast sensitivity and motion perception in aging, resulting in patented diagnostic tools.
His research interests focus on psychophysical modeling of aging effects on photoreceptor function, neural noise in visual processing, and clinical test development for early detection of retinal pathologies like age-related macular degeneration. Current projects include developing functional clinical tests to evaluate photoreceptor efficiency and studying motion processing systems.
Dr. Allard maintains research affiliations with CRIR, RRSV, and CIRCA. His recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on visual psychophysics, photoreceptor function in aging, and motion perception mechanisms. Research trends show increasing focus on clinical applications and diagnostic tools for retinal diseases.
He teaches courses including Psychophysics of Vision, Methodology and Applied Statistics. His research has been supported by multiple grants from Canadian research councils focusing on motion perception systems, visual attention in 3D spaces, and early detection of retinal pathologies.
