studies human vision, both experimentally and through computational modeling of visual processing.

focuses on understanding how our brains are capable of storing memories of the images that we have seen, after viewing tens of thousands of images, each only once and only for a few seconds.

studies visual cues in natural scenes using computational and experimental techniques.
