<span style="margin:0px; font-size:12pt">Our 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,
perceptual uncertainty. We combine theories of probabilistic neural coding, computer vision and machine learning, psychophysics, and neurophysiology through collaborations. Close interaction and collaboration with other members of the lab and the department
is anticipated.</span></p>
