Aaron Johnson

Aaron Johnson is Associate Professor, Psychology, at Concordia University, where he leads research projects that investigate human vision in real-world environments while performing real-world tasks. His research spans a range of areas from low-level computational models of vision, to applied research in the fields of marketing, aviation, and low-vision rehabilitation.

More specifically, Dr. Johnson's research focuses on how various visual, cognitive, and the loss of other senses effect the visual system, attention, and eye movements. This research employs traditional techniques such as psychophysics and eye tracking, as well as new techniques such as computational neuroscience, gaze-contingent stimuli modifications, augmented virtual reality, and studying the underlying neural activity using EEG. Most recently, he has employed these techniques in the area of aviation, to study stress and fatigue in pilots.
