Ione Fine is a professor in the psychology department at the University of Washington, Seattle. She is a neuroscientist known for her research examining how people adapt to the sensory loss.
Education
[edit]Fine received her BS in Philosophy, Physiology, and Psychology from Merton College, Oxford in 1993. She received an M.A. in 1996 from the University of Rochester, and then earned her Ph.D. in 1999 from the Center for Vision Science within the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester.[1] Fine then pursued post-doctoral work with Professors Donald MacLeod and Karen Dobkins at the University of California, San Diego.[2]
Between 2004-2007, she held a joint appointment at Second Sight Medical Products LLC and the Doheny Eye Institute and Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute at USC. In 2007, she moved to the Department of Psychology at the University of Washington, where she was promoted to full professor in 2014.[1]
Work
[edit]Fine's research focuses on the perceptual, neural, and cognitive mechanisms underlying adaptation to sensory loss, including deafness and blindness.[3][4][4] She has also worked on the development of computational models for new technologies for sight recovery, such as 'bionic eyes'.[5][6][7] Fine's research has examined how people who regain their sight interpret visual cues.[8]
Fine has also advocated for better inclusion of female scientists in high-profile journals.[9]
