Current Research: Miguel Eckstein Research Interests: How does the attention change the way in which our brain
processes visual information? What processes mediate human learning in perceptual
tasks? How does our brain decide where to direct our eyes when we search for
an object in a visual scene? Do the neural mechanisms mediating eye movements
and perceptual decisions process visual information in similar manners?
I typically study these questions by comparing human performance to that of
the optimal Bayesian observer (typically implemented on a computer). I also
study the visual, cognitive and decision processes by which doctors detect
and classify abnormalities in medical images and use computer models to improve
the way in which we display medical images so that doctors can do fewer errors
in clinical diagnosis. Faculty Home | Current Research | Selected Publications
