Visual Computation and Learning Group

   Investigating the neural mechanisms underlying the processing of stimuli in visual cortex

  Overview

Research carried out in the lab focusses on the processing and storage of visual information. Investigative methods include: computational modelling, human behavioural studies, and brain imaging. Much of the early work has centred on the representation and recognition of objects in temporal lobe cortex. More recently the focus has shifted to the interaction between the frontal and temporal lobe during visual scene analysis. Another ongoing stream of research concerns visuomotor control of vehicle heading. For a brief summary of these and a range of other topics studied in the lab go to the projects page.
