<span style="font-size:12.0pt">The lab studies how biological sensory systems interpret the surrounding environment. Topics include probabilistic representations of natural images; models of selectivity and variability in large cortical populations; the perceptual
consequences of neuronal variability; and uncertainty in visual and auditory perception. We combine theories of probabilistic neural coding, tools from computer vision and machine learning, psychophysics, and neurophysiology through collaborations. The candidate
is expected to perform research related to these topics. Close interaction and collaboration with other members of the department is anticipated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
