BVI Inspirations
-
Richard Gregory (1923 - 2010)
Richard Gregory FRS CBE was a polymath, a great interdisciplinary thinker and an inspiration behind BVI. Richard was Professor of Neuropsychology at Bristol and Director of the Brain and Perception Laboratory. Founding editor of the journal “Perception” (1972) and the Experimental Psychology Society, serving as its President in 1981-2. In 1978, he founded The Exploratory, an applied science centre in Bristol - the first of its kind in the UK. He authored and edited several books, most notably Eye and Brain (1966 and still in print today) and Mind in Science. In 1967 he delivered the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures on The Intelligent Eye and was a guest on Desert Island Discs. One of Richard’s passions were visual illusions and what these revealed about human perception. Well known for his explanation of the café wall illusion Richard’s achievements were recently recognised by the City of Bristol through the award of a Blue Plaque on the Workhouse Kitchen in Bristol.

Tom Troscianko (1952-2011)
Tom started his career as a lab technician in the British Steel Corporation (1970-71). Then, after a Physics degree from Manchester University he became a Research Scientist at Kodak, where his interest in colour vision began. After a PhD in Optometry and Visual Science (1975-78), he moved to Bristol University in 1978 to work on hearing and vision with Richard Gregory. His many contributions include work on ‘isoluminance’ and its effects on the perception of form and motion and computational modelling of vision. He organised the European Conference on Visual Perception in 1988 and became a Lecturer in 1991. After a spell at the University of Sussex, he returned to Bristol as Professor of Psychology, and founded the Cognition and Information Technology Research Centre (COGNIT) whose aims, like Tom’s, were to foster an interdisciplinary approach to cognitive neuroscience. Tom and COGNIT were an inspiration for BVI and he was a key member of the management team.
