Max Cynader is widely regarded as among the ablest experimentalists working on the visual system.He has made important contributions in the general area of the plasticity and development of the neural system governing vision. His work, characterised bv rigour, creativity and a search for unifying principles, has illuminated our understanding of stereopsis and the processsing of visual information by the central nervous system. Dr. Cynader more recently has been extending his conceptualization to include the auditory system and the dynamic localization of sound.
