Ph.D., Stanford University Research InterestsKlatzky's research interests are in human perception and cognition, with special emphasis on spatial cognition and haptic perception. She has done extensive research on human haptic and visual object recognition, navigation under visual and nonvisual guidance, and perceptually guided action. Her work has application to navigation aids for the blind, haptic interfaces, exploratory robotics, image-guided surgery, and virtual environments. Professor Klatzky is the author of over 200 articles and chapters, and she has authored or edited 7 books.Recent Publications- Reed CL, Klatzky RL, Halgren E: What versus where in touch: An fMRI study.
