Research topics
- neural mechanisms of visual perception
- visual information in natural scenes
- eye movements and visual processing
Scientific approach
We take a multidisciplinary approach, using methods from neurophysiology, psychophysics, and computational modeling, to study the neural principles of processing and coding in the visual system and to investigate their relation to the properties of the sensory environment and to perceptual phenomena.
