Research Interests
Vision is how most of us interact with the world. We open our eyes and a complex cascade of biological algorithms springs into action, allowing us to know exactly where we are, recognize the faces and social interactions between the people around us, and even decipher the words and images you see on the screen. How does the human brain orchestrate this remarkable feat? Addressing this question is as much an engineering challenge as a scientific one. In our lab we use brain imaging (functional MRI, MEG, EEG), human electrophysiology (ECoG and Utah array recordings), and behavioral psychophysical measurements to collect our experimental data. We test our progress by developing ever more precise brain-inspired computational models that recapitulate as many of the observed biological phenomena as possible.
