Project Lead

Understanding the visual system in health and disease is a key issue for neuroscience and neuroengineering applications such as visual prostheses.

Project Affiliate

Rather than predicting perceptual distortions, one needs to solve the inverse problem: What is the best stimulus to generate a desired visual percept?

Publications

We present a series of analyses on the shared representations between evoked neural activity in the primary visual cortex of a blind human with an intracortical visual prosthesis, and latent visual representations computed in deep neural networks.

We present explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) models fit on a large longitudinal dataset that can predict perceptual thresholds on individual Argus II electrodes over time.

We systematically incorporated neuroscience-derived architectural components into CNNs to identify a set of mechanisms and architectures that comprehensively explain neural activity in V1.
