Bart Anderson

ARC Professorial Research Fellow

 

I am a vision scientist currently residing in beautiful Sydney Australia studying a variety of problems in vision. A collection of some of my demonstrations and papers are listed below for those interested in some science, and for those looking for some fun, check out some of the demos. Enjoy!
