Research summary
AI-generated

Dennis M. Shaffer studies visual perception, particularly how people judge distances, heights, slants, and angles based on factors like head and gaze orientation. His work also examines motor control topics such as the 'power law' governing movement, and how well hand-based (proprioceptive) senses of surface slant match verbal estimates. This research is relevant to students interested in how the brain constructs perceptions of space and body position.
