Research in the Active Perception Laboratory follows an
interdisciplinary approach that integrates experiments in visual psychophysics with
computational models of the brain and the embodiment of neuronal models in robotic systems.
This research brings together concepts and methods of neuroscience, engineering and
computer science.
An important focus of research is the investigation of the visual functions of certain types of eye movements. This is an ideal arena to investigate behavioral influences on visual performance and development, as eye movements have a direct and deep impact on visual input signals, while the relative simplicity of these actions enables the development of realistic models.
