Professor
George K. Shoane has published extensively (under the Cantonese
phonetic spelling of his last name, Hung) in the areas of experimentation and
modeling of the human accommodation and vergence systems, as well as
the dynamic interactions between saccade and vergence.
He developed a model of myopia (nearsighteness) development that has
clarified a field which had been clouded in controversy over the
past three decades. He
is currently investigating the application of these models in the
clinical environment with the aim of quantifying the remediation of
clinical deficits. In
addition, he was the first to investigate the dynamics of eye and
head movements during golf’s putting stroke and has provided
important quantitative insights into the effect of grip style on eye
and head movements during the putting stroke.
Finally, he has published a book titled Models of Oculomotor
Control (World Scientific, 2001), and co-edited three
books titled Models of the Visual System (World
Scientific,
2002), Biomedical
Engineering Principles in Sports (Kluwer Academic/Plenum, 2004), Biomedical Engineering Principles of the Bionic Man (World Scientific,
2010), Biomechanical Engineering Principles and Applications in
Sport (Spring, 2019), and Biomedical Engineering Principles of the
Bionic Man, 2nd Edition (World Scientific, 2023).
