Glimcher, New York University Computational approaches to neuroscience have produced important advances in our understanding of neural processing. Prominent successes have come in areas where strong inputs from neurobiological, behavioral and computational approaches can interact. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on experience in a computer laboratory, this intensive course will examine areas, including color vision, spatial pattern analysis, binocular stereopsis, motion analysis, oculomotor function, attention, and object representation. The theme is that an understanding of the computational problems, the constraints on solutions to these problems, and the range of possible solutions can help guide research in neuroscience. Students should have experience in neurobiological or computational approaches to visual processing. Some background in mathematics, and familiarity with computers will be beneficial. Past lecturers have included: Edward Adelson, Richard Andersen, David Brainard, Heinrich Bulthoff, Denis Dacey, Robert Desimone, Rudiger von der Heydt, Norma Graham, Ellen Hildreth, Peter Lennie, Stephen Lisberger, Jitendra Malik, John Maunsell, Suzanne McKee, Michael Morgan, Ken Nakayama, Izumi Ohzawa, William Newsome, John Palmer, Tomaso Poggio, Jeff Schall, Terrence Sejnowski, David Sparks, Keiji Tanaka, Shimon Ullman, and Brian Wandell.
