Biography

Rigmor C. Baraas studied Optometry and Vision Science at University of Manchester, England. She graduated in 1994, and was subsequently appointed Lecturer in the Department of Optometry at Buskerud University College, Kongsberg, Norway. She received a PhD fellowship in 1998, and returned to Manchester to undertake postgraduate research in the Vision Science Laboratory with Prof. J. J. Kulikowski. She obtained her PhD from the University of Manchester in 2002. She then moved to the Visual and Computational Neuroscience Laboratory and undertook 3-years of postdoctoral research with Professor D. H. Foster. She returned to Buskerud University College in spring 2005 as Associate Professor of Visual Sciences in the Department of Optometry and Visual Science. She is a member of OSA, ICVS, VSS and ARVO. Her research interests are related to the human visual system, in particular how information about colour and luminance are processed as the signals are transmitted from the eye to the brain.

Research Interests

- Surface colour perception
- Colour constancy
- Colour vision deficiencies and genetics
- Rod-cone interaction
- Adaptive optics retinal imaging
- Chromatic-luminance interaction in human temporal vision
