Vision is one of the best studied senses. We have an active group of labs in vision,
which uses vision as a model system to understand how the brain creates the conscious
experience of a surrounding world - a ‘subjective’ world which we can nevertheless act
upon meaningfully and adaptively.
To this end, we employ a variety of techniques including human psychophysics, primate
neurophysiology, visual illusions, patient studies and computational modeling. We are
interested in phenomena raging from the encoding of information in a single neuron to the
phenomenological experience of the whole organism. Cutting-edge technologies, such as
high-speed graphics displays, eye trackers, and multi-neuron recording systems, are used.
Our topics include the study of visual motion, color, object formation, changes in a
visual scene, attention, eye movements, and visual system development.
