"Simon Grant is a visual neuroscientist specializing in binocular functions and their contributions to human action control. He joined City University London in 2000 having previously worked as a lecturer at Imperial College and Charing Cross & Westminster Medical Schools in London. Simon Grant has a BSc in Human Biology and a PhD obtained at the National Institute for Medical Research, London. This was for anatomical and physiological work on animal models of human amblyopia, squint and binocular (3D, depth, stereo) vision loss, an interest that he pursued in post-doctoral research at University College London and the Medical College of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, USA) and in his subsequent lectureships in London Medical Schools. His research focus shifted on joining Optometry at City University, where his main area of work has been on the contributions of normal binocular 3D vision to the control of reaching and grasping movements, and on evaluating deficits in these eye-hand coordination skills in children and adults with amblyopia and/or selectively reduced binocular functions."
