Faculty

• Ennio Mingolla

  Prof. Mingolla works on development and empirical testing of neural network models of visual perception, notably the segmentation, grouping, and contour formation processes of early and middle vision in primates, and on the transition of these models to technological applications. Please see the CNS Optic Flow Group and the Neuromorphics Lab for more about his research.

• N Andrew Browning

  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.

Postdocs

• Florian Raudies

  Florian is interested in the processing of visual motion: the developmental trajectory of motion selectivity, the learning of visual navigation based on visual motion, the processing of motion transparency, and detailed models for retinal visual flow that are beyond the commonly used pinhole camera.

• Jeffrey Doon

  Jeffrey is working with Jeremy Wolfe and colleagues at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital to improve methods for search in radiology. Jeffrey is developing new stereoscopic 3-D viewing
  software using graphics card computing. This software will improve speed and accuracy for detection of dangerous lung nodules.
  Visual Attention
  Stereoscopic Viewing

• Oliver Layton

  Oliver is interested in visually-guided navigation and figure-ground segregation. He is modeling how humans perceive their future paths, how independently moving objects in the environment influence where humans perceive they are going (heading), how attention modulates the time course of navigation-related neural activity in primate visual area MSTd. He also models how border-ownership signals form to aid in the rapid segmentation of independently moving objects. Please visit his personal page, the CNS Optic Flow Group, and CELEST for more information.

  Heading and Independently Moving Objects

• Harald Ruda

  Harald is interested spatial vision and decision making processes. He is currently working on modeling the perception of hyperacuity.
