My main research interest is in computational theories of
the brain with emphasis on human vision. In 1985 Chris Brown and I led a team
that designed and built a high speed binocular camera control system capable
of simulating human eye movements. The system was mounted on a robotic arm that
allowed it to move at one meter per second in a two meter radius workspace.
This system has led to an increased understanding of the role of behavior in vision.
The theoretical aspects of that system were summarized in a paper ``Animate Vision,''
which received the Best Paper Award at the 1989 International Joint Conference on
Artificial Intelligence. Currently I am interested in pursuing this research by
using model humans in virtual reality environments. In addtion I am interested
in models of the brain that relate to detailed neural codes. A position paper
on this work appeared in the Behavioral and Brain Sciences.
