We belong to the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition, a joint program between the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. Our members are affiliated with CMU Computer Science and Psychology, and we are headed by Mike Lewicki.

Our interests lie in the areas of computational perception and theoretical neuroscience. We are particularly interested in computational principles underlying the representation and processing of complex real-world patterns.

In July 2009, Mike will be moving to Case Western Reserve University. This academic year he is on leave at the Institute for Advanced Study (Wissenschaftskolleg) in Berlin.
