Visual Coding of Motion and Form

了解大脑如何解决视觉问题，对于理解如何建造能够看到的智能机器人以及开发更复杂的虚拟现实类型的基于计算机的技术至关重要。此外，鉴于我们大脑皮层的很大一部分是用于视觉处理的，我们对视觉系统运作的任何了解都可能与我们对大脑皮层处理的一般理解有关，也会使我们更接近于解释大脑活动如何产生有意识感知的经验。该项目将直接扩大澳大利亚关于一般神经处理和特别是视觉感知的知识基础。

Understanding how brains solve the problems of vision may prove crucial in understanding how to build intelligent robots capable of seeing, as well as in developing more sophisticated virtual reality-type computer-based technologies. Moreover, given that a large proportion of our cortex is given over to visual processing, anything we can learn about the operation of the visual system might prove relevant to our understanding of cortical processing in general as well as bringing us one step closer to an explanation of how activity in our brains gives rise to the experience of conscious perception. This project will directly expand Australia's knowledge-base regarding neural processing in general and visual perception in particular.
