At the Rowland, the Cox Lab sought to understand the computational underpinnings of high-level visual processing through concerted efforts in both reverse- and forward-engineering. To this end, the group employed a wide range of experimental techniques (ranging from microelectrode recordings in living brains to visual psychophysics in humans) to probe natural systems, while at the same time actively developing practical computer vision systems based on what is learned about the brain.
