Cubelets

2012-01-04T08:20:00.000-08:00

Snap these small magnetic blocks together, and without further ado your robot starts to sense, plan, and act. Your robot's behavior depends entirely on how you've assembled the Cubelets; behaviors emerge from the local interactions between Sense, Think, andAction Blocks -- no single “brain” block and no single “program” controls the robot.

Reconstructing Visual Experiences

2011-09-26T03:41:00.000-07:00

The work in our laboratory focuses on computational modeling of the visual system. Our goal is to formulate models that describe how the brain encodes visual information, and that accurately predict how the brain responds during natural vision. We study the visual system because it is more approachable than the cognitive systems that mediate complex thought.
