Murthy Bavaraju
Murthy Murthy is interested in models and the psychophysics of motion perception, especially the stages in low level vision (like LGN, V1 and MT).
N Andrew Browning
Andrew Andrew is working on models of primate motion processing for estimation of heading and object segmentation. Other interests include reactive navigation, target pursuit strategies, and technological applications.
Home
Jeffrey Doon
Jeff Jeff is investigating in multiple object tracking and how said paradigm can reveal insights relating to visual attention processes.
Nicholas Foley
Nico Nico is working on models of attention that include: the interaction between spatial and object based attention, how the brain can deploy multi-focal attention, and why training based effects such as video game playing can facilitate attention-based performance. Nico's other interests include circadian rhythms modeling, sensory-motor interaction and improving his attentional performance through the use of video games.
Chaitanya Sai Gaddam
Sai Sai is working on an improved Boundary Contour System (BCS), a neural model of contour extraction and interpolation.
Jasmin Léveillé
Jasmin Jasmin is working on spiking laminar models of visual grouping in primate V1/V2. Other interests include models of vision in cnidaria, and applications to AI and financial engineering.
Gennady Livitz
Gennady Gennady is working on models of color encoding in the primate visual system, including the representation of color in the retina, LGN, and visual cortex. How can the apparently random cone mosaic in the retina give rise to perceptual color opponency that is observed psychophysically? Is chromatic opponency softwired? What are the physiological mechanisms underlying color opponency? What are the implications of softwired color opponency for the dimensionality of perceptual color space?
