Recent Insights and Developmental Concerns in Visual Neurology – Dr. Eric Hussey
Recent Insights and Developmental Concerns in Visual Neurology – Dr. Eric Hussey
Course Description
This course explores the impact of visual and neurological development on face recognition, focusing on vulnerable populations such as infants and individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. Topics include the Fusiform Face Area (FFA), the development of face detection, and the effects of interruptions like congenital cataracts or limited social interaction due to masking. Students will examine the implications of impaired face recognition on emotional processing, social interaction, and quality of life, using case studies and research on autism, dementia, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Instructor Bio
Dr. Eric Hussey graduated from Pacific University College of Optometry. He currently serves on the board of OEPF as President, is the chair of NW Congress of Optometry and serves as treasurer and as the liaison to the education committee, including the Affiliated Meetings Committee, which includes all of the regional congresses. He has published over thirty papers (almost all peer-reviewed), and he has one in review now. The title of the new paper beginning with “Who’s on First?” may suggest some level of neuro-nerddom. With one foot in the real world of the clinic and real patient problems, and the other foot in the world of clinical research, he keeps us going toward better and better care of your vision.
