Frederick A. A. Kingdom is a Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at McGill University's Faculty of Medicine, focusing on Perception, Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience . His research explores the interplay between early visual feature detection (edges, bars) and intermediate stages forming contours, textures, and surfaces through spatial vision, color vision, stereopsis, texture perception, brightness/lightness perception, and transparency studies . Email: fred.kingdom@mcgill.ca Key research domains include: Perceptual Mechanisms : Lateral inhibition, contrast normalization, spatial bandpass filters, and their role in brightness/lightness perception and illusions like simultaneous brightness contrast. Color Vision : Red-green vs blue-yellow system distribution, chromatic contrast requirements for stereopsis, color-based depth processing limitations, and color-shading effects that parse surfaces vs illumination. Texture Analysis : Detection thresholds for orientation/frequency/contrast modulated textures, co-circularity in texture perception, and texture statistical sensitivity (e.g., kurtosis importance). Shape Processing : Shape-frequency/shape-amplitude aftereffects, global vs local shape coding, and contour inflection adaptation. His work combines psychophysics , fMRI , image processing , and computational modeling to dissect visual system architecture, particularly how color and luminance signals are integrated/separated in early cortical processing.

Her work bridges basic neuroscience and applied research, addressing depth perception in 2D/3D displays and VR environments. Key interests include stereoscopic volume representation, perceptual grouping, and the impact of monovision on depth judgments. Recent studies examine lightness constancy in virtual reality, depth magnitude errors in 3D displays, and neural activation patterns in object-selective visual cortex. Wilcox has published extensively on binocular vision mechanisms, including coarse stereopsis in strabismus patients and the role of motion parallax in depth perception. Her applied projects evaluate visual fidelity in stereoscopic content, compression algorithms, and ergonomic considerations for XR devices. She also investigates how environmental context (e.g., familiar size, natural scenes) modulates depth perception accuracy across real and virtual environments. Her research emphasizes translational applications, aiming to optimize display technologies through insights from human visual processing. Ongoing work explores perceptual integration of binocular and monocular cues, attention modulation by depth, and the neurophysiological underpinnings of stereoscopic vision.
