About Us


  Neural system in brain reconstructs a three-dimensional (3D) model of the external world from a pair of two-dimensional (2D) retinal images. 3D world we perceive is result of processing of cortical neural system. There are various visual cues processed in cortical neural system, such as depth, contrast, color, visual motion, shape, etc. How our neural system encodes visual information and integrates all the cues is fundamental question. To understand neural network, we use physiological, computational and psychophysical approaches.
