CPS Training Program

项目总结/摘要 感知系统中心（CPS）是德克萨斯大学的一个跨学科项目， 为感觉系统的研究和培训提供了焦点。神经科学的持续增长 UT，以及在CPS，特别是在视觉研究领域，导致了一个独特的发展， 该中心的一个小组在视觉方面有一个广泛的跨学科研究计划，代表心理物理学， 神经生理学、成像和计算方法。此外，我们拥有独特的专业知识， 在自然环境中研究视觉的资源，以及 用于神经建模和用于建模视觉引导行为的计算工具。因为我们的女人 专业知识和我们在这些领域的特殊优势，我们有能力培养新的科学家谁将在 未来视觉研究的前沿。我们的培训重点有三个重要组成部分。第一、 我们利用CPS的高度跨学科和协作结构，提供广泛的交叉， 学科培训，我们认为这对学生的视觉和视觉表现至关重要。二是 我认为，计算方法的培训是视觉研究的重要组成部分，我们采取 我们在这一领域的独特优势。第三，我们利用我们在以下方面的优势： 自然系统分析，以提供一个独特的培训机会，在一个领域，这是越来越多的 这对广泛理解视力很重要。这些组件是我们计划的核心，其中包括 基础课程、专门研讨会、高级方法培训、出席CPS座谈会 系列和CPS研讨会自然环境，任务，和情报，道德培训，和 发展专业技能。

Project Summary/Abstract The Center for Perceptual Systems (CPS) is an interdisciplinary program at the University of Texas that provides a focal point for research and training in sensory systems. Continued growth in the Neurosciences at UT, as well as in CPS, particularly in the area of vision research, has lead to the development of a distinctive group in the Center that has a broad interdisciplinary research program in vision, representing psychophysical, neurophysiological, imaging, and computational approaches. Additionally, we have distinctive expertise and resources for the investigation of vision in the context of natural environments, and the development of computational tools for neural modeling and for modeling visually guided behavior. Because of both our broad expertise and our special strengths in these areas we are well positioned to train new scientists who will be at the forefront of vision research in the future. There are three important components to our training focus. First, we take advantage of the highly interdisciplinary and collaborative structure of CPS to provide broad cross- disciplinary training, which we consider essential for students of vision and visual performance. Second, we believe that training in computational methods is an essential component of research in vision and we take advantage of our particular strengths in this area. Third, we take advantage of our strengths in the area of natural systems analysis to provide a unique training opportunity in an area that is becoming increasingly important for a broad understanding of vision. These components lie at the core of our program, which includes basic courses, specialized seminars, training in advanced methodologies, attendance at the CPS colloquium series and the CPS symposium on Natural Environments, Tasks, and Intelligence, ethics training, and the development of professional skills.
