Thesis: probabilistic models of natural images for understanding how brains work
Mon, 05.10.2009
5 Oct 2009 - Even though the visual cortex is one of the most studied parts of the brain, surprisingly little is known about how exactly images are processed to leave us with a coherent percept of the world around us, so we can recognize a friend or drive on a crowded street without any effort. In his thesis Urs Köster constructured probabilistic models of natural images. to understand the structure of the stimulus.
