The Biomotion Lab is accepting new Graduate Students

The BioMotionLab is accepting new Graduate students in Fall 2010. Our lab is researching visual perception as it relates to the visual recognition of objects, animals and people. Understanding the underlying perceptual and neural processes required to study how sensory information needs to be represented by biological and artificial information processing systems. Currently, most of the projects in the lab are concerned with the perception of biological motion, but Dr. Troje’s BioMotionLab is also studying many other visual phenomena. Its repertoire of methods includes quantitative psychophysics, brain imaging, virtual realities, computer animation, computer vision, pattern recognition, and machine learning. In addition to students with a Psychology background, trainees in the BioMotionLab come from Neuroscience, Biology, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Engineering. Graduate programs that may fit your interests include the Brain, Behaviour and Cognitive Science program of the Department of Psychology, the Neuroscience program of the Centre for Neuroscience Studies, and the graduate programs of the School of Computing.
