Jacqueline Bao

Jacqueline Bao studies how the brain processes visual information and controls eye movements, and how these processes are disrupted in schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. Her work combines behavioral experiments (such as tracking eye movements, visual illusions, and attention tasks) with clinical comparisons between people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and healthy controls. A recurring theme is 'corollary discharge'—the brain's internal signal predicting the sensory consequences of its own movements—and how disruptions to this signal may explain hallucinations and perceptual disturbances in psychosis.

Output was minimal to sporadic from 2017-2023 (0-1 papers most years) but increased sharply in 2024-2026, suggesting a recent period of growing publication activity.
