We humans live adaptively by getting information about the surrounding environment through our senses, processing the information in our brains and outputting appropriate actions. In our laboratory, we investigate this information process using psychophysics and functional brain imaging. Our particular research focus is on how our brain processes three-dimensional visual information and constructs the perception of depth and shape. The findings from this basic research can contribute to the development of an adaptive and effective representation of three-dimensional space and virtual reality. |
