Research

Our research explores how and why visual cognition emerges in the human brain and in artificial systems. Below you can explore our current and past projects, which describe the scientific questions we are investigating, and the open-source software we develop to support our work and the broader community.

Projects

Functional Specialization in Brains and DNNs

Why are face and object processing segregated in the human brain?

Using DNNs to understand functional specialization in the human visual cortex.

Factors Shaping Face Perception

How does facial motion contribute to face perception?

Using photorealistic avatars and machine learning to study facial motion perception.

Inversion effects in humans and DNNs

In this project we want to find factors that can predict inversion effects in DNNs and humans.

Adaptive and Predictive Vision

What does the visual system keep in mind when objects disappear from view?

Studying object permanence with M/EEG and computational models
