CNRG Collaborators
Below is a list of research labs and individuals that the CNRG has done work with, along with a brief description of the work. Please see the examples section for more details on the results from these collaborations.
Main Collaborators
Center for Higher Brain Function
The CNRG and Center have cooperated on a number of projects aimed at bringing computational tools to bear on problems in neuroscience. Specifically, members of the CNRG have participated in the Center's development of a suite of software tools for surface-based analyses of the mammalian cerebral cortex (particularly human and macaque monkey cortex). As well, members have jointly developed a model of visual attention (the 'shifter circuit'). Weekly meetings involving both groups (and some of the labs below) allow for ongoing communication and exchange of ideas.
The Snyder lab studies the role of the parietal cortex in the processing of visual spatial information, and how such information is used to direct eye and arm movements. The CNRG and the Snyder lab are collaborating on the development of a model of spatial memory.
The DeAngelis lab studies cortical circuits that mediate visual perception and visually guided behavior. They focus on mechanisms of stereoscopic depth perception and mechanisms of visual feature integration.
The Angelaki Lab combines computational and electrophysiological techniques to study the sensory-to-motor transformations required to direct gaze in three-dimensional space. The CNRG has been developing models of these transformations using our framework.
Professor Gosh is a member of the Biomedical Engineering Faculty at Washington University. He is interested in developing planning and control systems that can integrate various sensory information and human knowledge in order to efficiently carry out a task with or without the need for human intervention.
Professor Olshausen has worked extensively with the CNRG in constructing models of visual attention (i.e., the shifter circuit).
Professor Danckert is interested primarily in human neuropsychology and more specifically in the effects of right parietal brain lesions on behaviour. Recently he has began making use of a prism adaptation technique developed in France that is designed to rehabilitate neglect. The CNRG and Professor Danckert are collaborating on simulating prism adaptation.
