Scientific Focus
Understanding the phenomenon of organization
Understanding the organization of the brain
Modeling processes of organization in the visual system,
in ontogenesis, in learning, in function
Using the problem of invariant object recognition
as paradigmatic application field to work on all of the above.
Methods
Conceptual work, mathematical formulation, computer simulation
