In collaboration with
colleagues at the University of California, San Diego, and the
University of Southern California, new efficient testing methods
have been developed using Bayesian estimation methods. These tests
included the YES/NO Threshold, and the Threshold versus Contrast
Functions.
This research has been
supported by the National Institutes of Mental Health and the
National Science Foundation and/or the Air Force Office of
Scientific Research.
