Funded Activity Summary
Tolerance to illumination variation in human vision. This project aims to understand how the human brain processes surfaces and objects in the visual environment to create representations that tolerate variations in illumination. Critical human behaviours such as object recognition rely on this ability, but it is not understood how the processing of the visual system achieves it. The intended outcomes of this project are a detailed understanding of how the brain’s visual areas encode physical attributes of the visual environment. The anticipated benefit is better basic knowledge of the mechanisms of the human visual system, which may inform attempts to replicate human visual capacities in artificial systems.Funded Activity Details
