Overview

John F. MacGregor is affiliated with McMaster University in Canada. Their research primarily focuses on neuroscience, with a specialization in cognitive neuroscience. The scope of their studies also extends into atomic and molecular physics, optics, molecular biology, computer vision and pattern recognition, and radiological and ultrasound technology.

Their work covers a number of topics including visual perception and processing mechanisms, color science and applications, retinal development and disorders, neural dynamics and brain function, image enhancement techniques, occupational health and safety research, and color perception and design.

Some of their recent publications demonstrate this broad interdisciplinary engagement in both psychology and imaging-related fields:

  • Edges and gradients in lightness illusions: Role of optical veiling glare (2022), Frontiers in Psychology
  • What scene information is needed for models of colour appearance in the natural world? (2020), Coloration Technology
  • Colors before and after cataract surgery: A study of color constancy and discrimination (2020), Electronic Imaging
  • Increases in scattered light causes increased darkness (2020), Electronic Imaging
  • Pseudocolor Analysis of Glare's Paradox in Illusions (2022), Color and Imaging Conference

Their frequent co-authors include:

  • Vassilios Vonikakis
  • Alessandro Rizzi
  • Joanne Mildenhall
  • Mary Ellen McCann
  • Camilo Arenas-Gallo

Key venues where John F. MacGregor has published include Electronic Imaging, Frontiers in Psychology, Coloration Technology, Color and Imaging Conference, and The Journal of Urology.

Throughout their career, they have received several awards acknowledging their contributions. These include the Shewhart Medal awarded in 1997, the William G. Hunter Award and Fellowship of the American Statistical Association both from 1993, as well as the Fellowship of the Royal Society of Canada awarded in 2007 by the Academy of Science.
