Natural Intelligence Lab, headed by Zhaoping Li at the
University of
Tübingen and Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics,

positions available for highly motivated PhD students and

interested in visual psychophysics and fMRI.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.11in; line-height: 108%"><font
style="font-size: 12pt" size="3">The
lab is interested in all areas of vision science, with a
particular focus on exploring a new framework for the visual
system,
whereby (1) V1 is responsible for the initial saliency
computations
to select a part of the visual input for further processing, (2)
V1 relays that saliency information directly to motor structures
for
generating short-latency orienting movements to place the
selected
visual object in the central visual field, and (3) stimuli in
central
and peripheral visual fields undergo differential processing by
V1
and higher visual areas. We use a variety of experimental and
theoretical techniques including human psychophysics </font><font
style="font-size: 12pt" size="3">and
eye tracking</font><font style="font-size: 12pt" size="3">, fMRI,
TMS, ERP, and computational modeling. </font><font
style="font-size: 12pt" size="3">Current
and planned projects involve visual search, gaze behavior,
object
recognition and visual illusions, among others. </font><font
