Prominent success will come in areas where strong inputs from neurobiological, behavioral and computational investigation can interact. The theme of the course is that an understanding of the computational problems, the constraints on solutions to these problems, and the range of possible solutions can help guide research in neuroscience. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on experience with MATLAB-based computer tutorials and projects, this intensive course will examine visual information processing from the retina to higher cortical areas, spatial pattern analysis, motion analysis, neuronal coding and decoding, attention, and decision-making.</span></p> <p><span>Speakers from last session: <br /><span>David Brainard, <em>University of Pennsylvania</em><br />Matteo Carandini, <em>University College London</em><br />Marisa Carrasco, <em>New York University</em><br />EJ Chichilnisky, <em>The Salk Institute</em><br />Marlene Cohen, <em>Harvard Medical School</em><br />Greg DeAngelis, <em>University of Rochester</em><br />Ione Fine, <em>University of Washington</em><br />Bill (Wilson) Geisler, <em>University of Texas at Austin</em><br />David Heeger, <em>New York University</em><br />Adam Kohn, <em>Albert Einstein College of Medicine</em><br />Nikolaus Kriegeskorte, <em>Medical Research Council</em><br />John Maunsell, <em>Harvard Medical School</em><br />Tirin Moore, <em>Stanford University</em><br />J.
