Attention and Eye movement:

The visual system processes visual scenes in a selective manner. Two important mechanisms are attention and eye movement. They are integral parts of active and adaptive perception that control all the learning and inference processes in the visual system. In APL, we study these key mechanisms by recording analysing human eye movement patterns during scene exploration and task behaviors, recording neural activities in visual cortex in conjunction with saccadic eye movement, and the computational modelings of attentional and eye movement systems.
