Jen Haensel

Basic Life Research Scientist, Ophthalmology Research/Clinical Trials

Bio

I am a Research Scientist in the Roberts Vision Development & Oculomotor Lab at Stanford University’s Department of Ophthalmology, working at the intersection of vision science, neuroscience, and experimental psychology. My current research uses eye-tracking, photorefraction, and psychophysics to study oculomotor development and visual function in amblyopia, strabismus, and concussion. I also work on developing methodology to record accommodative measurements and gaze behaviour in dynamic, naturalistic settings.

I completed my PhD in Experimental Psychology at Birkbeck, University of London (UK), where I used advanced eye-tracking techniques to study the influence of postnatal experience on social gaze behaviour. Prior to joining Stanford, I also worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bath (UK), developing empirical human-robot interaction studies to inform the ethical design of humanoid robots.

Yair Bannett

Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics)
Clinical Focus
Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics
Research Interests
Dr. Bannett leads the AI for improving Mental Health lab in the department of Pediatrics. The lab uses data-driven methods to develop reliable quality measures for management of children with developmental and mental health conditions in community-based primary care. Current studies integrate large language model analysis of clinical notes to accurately assess quality of care, with the ultimate goal of improving health care delivery for children with developmental and mental health conditions.

Heidi M. Feldman

Ballinger-Swindells Endowed Professor of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics
Clinical Focus
Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics
Research Interests
My current research program focuses on infants born preterm, before 32 weeks gestation from two language environments: English and Spanish. The study considers how neurobiological factors, specifically properties of the white matter circuits in the brain, interact with social, psychological, and economic factors to predict language processing efficiency at 18 months of age.

Research Interests
How does neural activity in the human cortex create our sense of visual perception? We use a combination of functional magnetic resonance imaging, computational modeling and analysis, and psychophysical measurements to link human perception to cortical brain activity.
