Karen Gunther
Karen Gunther has taught at Wabash College since 2007. Her primary research focuses on color vision – although we have known for 200 years that color vision begins with three different cone types in the retina, we still don’t know exactly how the retina and brain process the neural signals from the cones. The type of research she conducts, called psychophysics, is at the intersection of psychology, biology, and neuroscience - human behavioral responses to visual stimuli are used to elucidate the underlying neural mechanisms. She has taken students to conferences to present their research, both regional undergraduate conferences and national professional conferences.
Another recent line of research is a Study of Teaching and Learning, examining the use of non-fiction novels as the textbooks for teaching Sensation & Perception, to give the students more of a story line on which to hang the facts presented in class lectures.
In her free time, Professor Gunther quilts, cooks, reads, spends time with her husband (the Sensation & Perception professor at Denison University in Ohio), and plays with her cats (Sushi and Sashimi).
