Tony Chan - Mathematics	Professor Chan's research interestes include PDE methods in image processing, computer vision, and computer graphics; computational methods for VLSI CAD; multigrid and domain decomposition algorithms; iterative methods, Krylov subspace methods and parallel algorithms.
Mark Cohen - UCLA Medical School	Dr. Cohen's research interests include ultra-fast magnetic resonance imaging, studies of human cognition, image processing, disease-specific imaging in Parkinson's disease, and cerebral hemodynamics.
Stephen Engel - Psychology	Professor Engel studies neural bases of how people see, using both classic psychological methods and brain imaging techniques. His research compares results from these two kinds of experiments to understand, among other things, how humans recognize objects and see colors.
John Hummel - Psychology	Professor Hummel studies the representation and processing of structured information in vision and reasoning; human object recognition and visual attention; neural network models of object recognition, analogy, inference and schema induction.
Phil Kellman - Psychology	Dr. Kellman studies human perception and cognition with emphasis on object, motion, and space perception, visual cognition, visual attention, perceptual development and learning. He is also involved with human factors and educational applications of perceptual and cognitive research.
Barbara Knowlton - Psychology	Professor Knowlton is interested in he neural systems involved in memory and attention. She uses animal models and the lesion technique to explore the role of different barin systems, such as the basal ganglia, in learning and memory. In one set of studies she is attempting to describe the properties of caudate-dependent habit learning. She is also examining the cognitive deficits associated with neurodegenerative diseases in humans such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, and linking them to findings from experimental animals. In addition, she is studying the properties of visual representaions from a cognitive neuroscience perspective.
John Mazziotta - Brain Mapping	Dr. Mazziotta's research performed in he Brain Mapping Division of the Neuropsychiatric Institute is to develop multimodality, multidimensional maps of the human and nonhuman brain describing its structure and function. The resulting composite maps formed from PET, MRI, SPECT, Xray CT, post-mortem tissue analysis, receptor binding assays, and many others, give an ever evolving information source about cerebral function and structure.
Stan Schein - Psychology	Dr. Schein's research interests include neurobiology of vision and visual perception, and retinal and cortical function and circuitry.
John Schlag and Madeleine Shlag-Rey - Neuorbiology	How does the brain encode the coordinates of seen objects, and direct gaze onto them? To approach these problems, John and Madeleine Schlag record single neuronal activity from cortical and subcortical brain structures of trained primates while they search for present, remembered, or anticipated visual targets. Eye position is recorded with a magnetic search coil. Psychophysical experiments similar to those performed on non-human primates are also conducted on human subjects to determine how their perceptual localization of targets is affected by their eye movements.
Stefano Soatto - Computer Science	Professor Soatto's general research interests are in Computer Vision and Nonlinear Estimation and Control Theory. In particular, he is interested in ways for computers to use sensory information (e.g. vision, sound, touch) to interact with humans and the environment. Recently, the research group of Dr. Soatto has presented the first system for estimating the three-dimensional structure and motion of a scene with arbitrary geometry in real-time from sequences of video images.
James Thomas - Psychology	Professor Thomas' primary research activity is the development and testing of formal models of spatial pattern vision, with special emphasis on models which incorporate properties of cortical neurons. Dr. Thomas works with other faculty in the UCLA School of Medicine and Engineering on new models of visual processing.
Ying Nian Wu - Statistics	Professor Wu's current research interest is to search for stochastic generative models for visual phenomena with rich spatial and temporal details such as textures and complex dynamic scenes.
Alan Yuille - Psychology / Statistics	Alan Yuille works on mathematical models of artificial and biological vision.
Eran Zaidel - Psychology	His research in cognitive neuropsychology focuses on hemispheric autonomy and inter-hemispheric interaction with special emphasis on language. This serves as a model system in the brain for modularity of representation and of processing for intermodular communication, and for mechanisms of monitoring and control.
