Research Interest
Our research is dedicated to the understanding of how the brain uses population codes and distributed information processing in order to make sense of its high-dimensional sensory input. In particular, we seek to unravel principles underlying the formation of neural representations in the early visual system and their computational role for perception of natural images. To this end, we addresses the problem of perceptual inference from natural images and its neural basis at different levels: Natural image statistics, Neural population coding, and Psychophysics.
