Tue, 11 Oct 2011 16:14:24 -0400

Nathaniel Twarog Graduate Student ---------- [Nathaniel Twarog] I'm a PhD student with Professors Adelson and Rosenholtz; my work primarily falls into two large subdivisions of middle vision: perceptual organization and shape analysis and representation. I attempt to model these tasks using computational algorithms, with emphasis on the nature of the visual system as an image-processing system (rather than a more computationally classic object-oriented system).

Principal Research Scientist ---------- [Ruth Rosenholtz] My lab studies human vision, including visual search, peripheral vision, perceptual organization, and the impact of visual clutter on task performance. We take a three-pronged approach: 1) Computational modeling (computer vision-based, ideal observers, Monte Carlo simulations, and neurobiologically-inspired); 2) Behavioral experiments; and 3) Applying our models and understanding of h…

Whitman Richards

Wed, 09 Jun 2010 15:26:06 -0400

Professor of Cognitive Science ---------- Currently focuses on high-level vision and the question of how perceptual knowledge is represented and structured. A consequence of this work was the invention of a new scaling technique, ``Trajectory mapping'', which overcomes some of the limitations of multi-dimensional scaling and allows one to explore the “paths” that link elements in conceptual spaces.
