Stanley A. Klein is currently (2009) a Professor of Vision Science and Optometry at the University of California at Berkeley and a member of the Visual Processing Laboratory. He is a consulting editor for Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics a publication of the Psychonomic Society which promotes the communication of scientific research in psychology and allied sciences. Its members must hold a PhD degree or equivalent and must have published significant research. His major area of research has been neurotechnology, a field of science that studies the body and mind through the nervous system by electronics and mechanisms. He is the co-chair for the SPIE (an international society on the science and application of light) meetings on human vision.

Professional Experience
Klein's major area of research has been neurometrics and neurotechnology. Neuroscience with the development of non-invasive human brain imaging now uses human subject volunteers, The questions being researched get at some of the fundamental questions of what it means to be human and to have a mind. The revolution in technologies that has made this maturation possible extends from gene to hospital bed-side and is now referred to as neurotechnology. Some examples of neurotechnology include the CAT scanner, fMRI, Magnetoencephalography (MEG), Positron emission tomography, high-throughput genetic sequencing, brain proteomics and psychopharmaceuticals. These technologies also include neural modeling simulations, biological computers, and human-brain interfaces (prosthetics).
