About Us:

In Vision Computation Lab, we employ an interdisciplinary approach to integrate computational sciences and neuroscience, with the goal of solving similar problems in both fields through a concerted effort on two fronts:

Neural coding and computation in natural vision: We aim to understand how our visual system represents the dynamic visual world and how the perceptually and behaviorally relevant visual information can be read out from neuronal responses. We collect electrophysiological data from the brain and develop data-driven, statistical modeling frameworks to decipher this neural encoding-decoding.

Computational algorithms for artificial vision applications: We aim to translate and apply our findings about the neural computations underpinning the brain's visual and visuomotor functions to design decoding algorithms for next-generation visual brain-machine interface and prosthetic systems which aim to restore our natural visual behavior.

Our Lab:

Our group belongs to University of Utah’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the School of Engineering, and the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science in the School of Medicine. We are located in the Moran Eye Center on U of U’s upper campus in Salt Lake City, Utah.
