Welcome to the Active Perception Lab
How does the brain transform light into a rich and meaningful world of objects, people, and events? What computational principles underlie visual perception, and how are they disrupted in visual disorders? What role does motor behavior play in shaping perception, and can these mechanisms be replicated in machines?
The Active Perception Laboratory is dedicated to studying human vision in the context of natural motor behavior. Directed by Drs. Martina Poletti and Michele Rucci, the laboratory is part of the Department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences and is located within the Center for Visual Science at the University of Rochester.
