The long-range goal of our research is to understand the neural basis of visual behavior. We will work toward this goal by studying the Limulus visual system. Its retina contains the largest neural network for which a quantitative model exists, and we understand the animal's visual behavior well enough to determine precisely what it sees. our computational studies have yielded remarkable, new insights about how the retinal network encodes important visual information. We will combine theoretical and experimental techniques to investigate what information the eye must send to the brain for the animal to see and how the brain decodes this information.

我们研究的长期目标是了解 视觉行为。我们将通过研究贻贝来努力实现这一目标 视觉系统。它的视网膜包含最大的神经网络， 量化模型存在，我们了解动物的视觉行为 足够准确地确定它看到了什么。我们的计算研究 对视网膜网络如何编码产生了非凡的新见解 重要的视觉信息。我们将把理论和实验结合起来 研究眼睛必须向大脑发送什么信息的技术 让动物看到，以及大脑是如何解码这些信息的。
